Sciences Citoyennes – Citizen Sciences – is a non for profit organisation, which was created in 2002 by a group of researchers from various fields of humanities and natural sciences, by students and citizens.
Our background and our objectives
Our main issue is to critically question the role of science and technology in the construction of a society and to put science into democracy so that it serves the common good.
