科学传播的挑战：“欧洲研究区域”
米歇尔•克雷森斯  著  尹霖  译

[摘  要]本文通过2005年在欧洲32个国家进行的公众民意调查结果显示，反映了当今欧洲公民认知科学和技术的方法；文章还将此次调查与美国和中国近来开展的类似调查进行了比较。在此背景下，文章提出了当前欧洲科学传播面临的挑战和困难。文中还就欧洲委员会(EC)近期为了推进整体传播，以及科学传播所开展的活动进行了介绍。欧洲委员会研究理事会正积极参与到将欧洲委员会资助的研究项目成果传播给媒体和一般公众的活动当中。为了使得研究工作的目标和结果能够通过有效的信息流获得公开，研究项目协调人和团队领导人得到了各种支持和帮助；文中还提到了欧洲委员会用以加强对研究成果进行传播的具体措施，如在布鲁塞尔召开的：“2005欧洲研究传播”会议。

Abstract: The paper reviews the way European citizens perceive science and technology (S&T) today, as reflected by a public opinion survey conducted in 32 European countries in 2005. It also includes some comparison with similar surveys conducted recently in the US and in China. Against this background, the paper addresses the challenges and difficulties of science communication in Europe today. Recent initiatives have been taken by the European Commission  (EC)  in improving communication in general and science communication in particular. The EC's Directorate-General for Research is actively involved in communicating the results of EU-funded research to the media and the general public. Support and help are provided to assist project coordinators and team leaders to generate an effective flow of information and publicity about the objectives and results of their work. Concrete measures taken by the European Commission to improve communication, outreach and dissemination of research results, such as the recent 'Communicating European Research 2005' conference in Brussels, are also presented.

南亚的科学传播：挑战与前景
马努吉•帕塔利亚  著  李曦  译

[摘  要] SAARC(南亚区域合作联盟)建立在不同的层次上，比如社会、文化、政治、宗教、科学、经济和自然，这些层次之间的双边和多边共享、交换、互动和沟通可以说是该地区全面发展进程的一个转折点，而在这二点上，公众对科学技术的理解具有举足轻重的作用。尽管各种不同的项目和活动被采纳，用以把科学带入到大众的生话；并且在他们心中培养对科学的喜爱，但是通常可以看到，所有这些层次都处于相互隔离的状态，并且几乎没有什么互动。当下的研究显示了在这些国家中流行的一系列科学传播模式和方法，并且试图确认出某些共同思路；以使这些国家具有更多的互动、增强相互沟通，这样他们也得以共享科学知识和科学智慧的力量。在发展中国家，尤其是南盟地区，比如孟加拉国、不丹；印度、马尔代夫、尼泊尔；巴基斯坦，以及斯里兰卡，科学传播借助各种媒介进行二出版、广播、数字化、民河的和交互的活动。而看起来，我们还有必要投入更多的努力，使得这些国家极为糟糕的科学素养水平能够：得到提升，能够根除迷信，并且让公众对科学具有基本的理解。充分利用诸如欧盟第六框架这样的项目，尤其是指向欧盟和发展中国家之间的科学合作(包括科学传播)的项目，现在正是时候；这些层次之间的密切交流和沟通将让各个层次彼此呼应，也铺平了增进了解与合作，以此走向可持续发展的遭路。

Abstract: SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) countries live in various layers, such as social, cultural, political, religious, scientific, economical, and natural. The bilateral and multilateral sharing, exchange, interaction and communication between these layers can mark a turning point of the process of overall development of the region and role of public communication of science and technology could be crucial and vital in this regard. Though, there exist a variety of programmes and activities for taking science to masses and inculcating a scientific bent of mind into them, generally, it was observed that all these layers are working in isolation and there is hardly any interaction. The present study discovers a range of modes and means of science communication prevalent in these countries and tries to identify some common threads amongst them to make them more interactive and communicative to each other-so that they can also share the power of scientific knowledge and scientific wisdom. It emerged that science communication through various media, be it print, broadcast, digital, folk or interactive in developing countries, especially in SAARC region, i.e., Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri-Lanka deserves much more serious efforts to be able to enhance their abysmally low level of scientific literacy, eradicate superstitions, and achieve a base- line public understanding of science. It is the high time to draw advantages from the prograannes like Sixth Framework of the European Union especially meant for scientific cooperation  (including science communication) between EU and developing countries. A close interaction and communication between these layers would make them more responsive to each other as well as paving the way to develop better understanding and cooperation leading to sustainable development.
