Euroscience Open Forum 2012: Statements

 

The Minister of State spoke about the need to create jobs and he is correct. However, it is about more than creating jobs; it is about creating an environment in which people understand, appreciate and enjoy science in their everyday lives in order that parents and teachers, even those who do not teach science, become enablers. The Euroscience Open Forum has the capacity to break from its narrow remit over the five days. It has the capacity to excite people beyond this period. If the Government and the Minister of State, given his remit, can achieve this, it will put science on a good platform for the future.
