Science and Politics

CSTPR, located at the University of Boulder-Colorado, seeks to improve how science and technology policies address societal needs through research, education, and service. Some of the Center's recent research and activities has included policy making involving climate change, and looking at the challenge of how to produce science that meets the changing needs of decision makers.

A non-profit, intellectual network located at Arizona State University aimed at enhancing the contribution of science and technology to society's pursuit of equality, justice, and overall quality of life. Center staff work on research and outreach in as diverse areas as public health, the environment, agriculture, privacy and other areas where technology and science meet policy.

CISTP is a world leader in international public policy research and education in science, technology and innovation. The Center looks at issues of space policy, cyber security, and how international governments and organizations can best collaborate to spur innovation in the sciences and share the positive developments from these collaborations.

The AAAS Center for Science, Technology, and Security Policy (CSTSP) addresses complex national and international security policy issues by drawing on the multidisciplinary expertise of Center staff and of natural and social scientists, engineers, science- and security-policy experts, and security professionals.

Begun in 1969 as a collaboration between students and faculty members at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, this group is a science-based nonprofit group workign for a healthy environment and safer world.
