Cathrine Holst, Øystein Linnebo and Gry Oftedal from the Centre for Philosophy and the Sciences have, together with other researchers, received funding from UiO:Democracy to conduct a three year research project on Science and Democracy.
From UiO:Democracy news page:
"The research group «Science and Democracy» will study the relationship between science and democracy in a modern context. Among other things, they raise the questions of what position science has in well-functioning democracies, the role of values in research, disagreements in scientific questions, and of research in times of crisis.
The group includes researchers from the Faculty of Humanities, the Faculty of Social Sciences, and the Faculty of Law. The project leader is Professor Cathrine Holst."
