The Role of Scientists in a Human-centered Society

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: Scientists have an important role not only in avoiding inappropriate and dangerous decisions, but also advising policymakers and other stakeholders about the best and wiser moves to make towards a human-centered society, thereby fomenting scientific knowledge and enhancing cross-cultural connections and joint research. They should also not forget the objective limitations of Science, which is always incomplete. With this purpose, we stress the importance of transferring knowledge among all scientific disciplines, using a transdisciplinary cross-talks approach. A few examples of how this may be done are presented in the paper.
