What is sciencehorizons?
sciencehorizons was a national series of conversations about new technologies, the future and society. It was set up by the UK government and ran between January and July 2007.
The closing date for responses was 25th June 2007. You can view the results here.
Developments in mobile technology, the internet and healthcare have changed our lives over the last few decades. New applications of science and technology will continue to shape our futures.
The government invited scientists, engineers and other experts to say which areas of science and technology they think will have the biggest impacts in the future. But experts don’t have all the answers. They can’t predict which particular developments will emerge and they can’t say how developments will be used by individuals and society. sciencehorizons was a chance for people
to tell us what they think, and what sort of future they want.
sciencehorizons is funded by the DIUS Sciencewise programme and was run by a consortium of Dialogue by Design, the Graphic Science Unit, BBC Worldwide Interactive Learning and Shared Practice.
