近年来，公民参与科技问题是一种时尚，世界各地正在出现各种旨在让公民参与科技的项目。然而，试图“参与参与”的学者和政府很少清楚他们的目标和期望的结果，以及他们所促进的过程是否有可能达到这些目的。机构资助的旨在吸引非专业公民参与科学技术的项目的目标是什么——明确的和隐含的？这些练习可能达到这些目标吗？什么样的过程可以培养更有意义的参与，这种参与的障碍是什么，如何克服这些障碍？根据作者的经验，本文探讨了这些问题，并提出了10条建议，以使公民更有意义地参与科学和技术。
Citizen engagement in scientific and technological issues is in vogue in recent years, and a variety of projects intended to engage citizens in science and technology is occurring worldwide. However, few academics and governments attempting to “engage in engagement” are clear about their goals and desired outcomes, and whether or not the processes they facilitate are likely to meet these ends. What are the goals—explicit and implicit—of institutionally sponsored projects that aim to engage lay citizens in science and technology? Are these exercises likely to meet these goals? and what kinds of processes could nurture more meaningful engagement, what are the barriers to this kind of engagement, and how might these barriers be overcome? Based on the experience of the authors, this article explores these questions and provides 10 recommendations for more meaningful engagement of citizens in science and technology.
