SAPS Ambition Dialogue Recherche Science Société – CNRS Ile-de-France Meudon – SAPS ADRESS 2021-CNRS DR05

The health crisis has shed new light on the research and dissemination of scientific culture. Scientists have been thrust into the spotlight, directly engaged by the media and politicians, without clarifying their role in decision-making processes. This frenzy has led to missteps and controversies, sometimes fueled by the scientists themselves, highlighting society's vulnerability to a flood of contradictory information massively spread through social media. These intense debates reveal that society demands to understand the role of science in decisions made by all economic and political actors and that research actors should better explain scientific methods and debates. Therefore, it is now the duty of the scientific community to respond to this call, lest there be a total breakdown of trust.

The National Research Agency, through the call for projects "Science with and for Society – Scientific, Technical, and Industrial Culture – AAPG2021," once again provides the opportunity to implement actions for scientific mediation, communication, or valorization around the issues and results of the research projects supported by the Agency in 2021.
The CNRS is ideally positioned to respond to this call for projects due to its multidisciplinary coverage, national presence, network of academic partners, and the connections it establishes with actors in scientific, technical, and industrial culture. Its regional presence through delegations such as the Ile-de-France Meudon delegation is an additional asset for developing ambitious local synergies.

The National Research Agency's call for projects "Science with and for Society – Scientific, Technical, and Industrial Culture – AAPG2021" is an opportunity for the CNRS to implement a knowledge dissemination project at the district level (including the departments of Hauts-de-Seine, Val d'Oise, Seine-Saint-Denis, and Paris), the SAPS ADRESS 2021-CNRS DR05 project.

Through the SAPS ADRESS 2021-CNRS DR05 project, the CNRS aims to showcase the diversity of research conducted in the region to the citizens. By offering various mediation tools, giving a voice to researchers, and leveraging new media to widely disseminate messages, the CNRS aims to promote creativity, culture, and scientific mediation for everyone. By linking territorial actions to national frameworks, it also seeks to significantly contribute to the dialogue between science, research, and society.
