Abstract
In the study 'Contested Science', we look at six recent controversies and attempts to answer the following questions: In what way do policymakers call in scientific expertise? How do other parties (local residents, local authorities, civil society organisations) respond? Is there a lack of trust in science in such cases? And what lessons can we learn from the way that policymakers and scientists have dealt with public controversies?
