This study assessed the implementation, results, and wider impacts of the “Science and Society” and “Science in Society” programmes, projects and activities in Framework Programme 6 and 7 (FP6 and FP7) – as well as their legacy in the development of ‘Science with and for Society' in Horizon 2020.

The findings and conclusions were presented to stakeholders and discussed during a final workshop in Brussels.

All of the study’s findings and recommendations were validated by the participants, who also emphasised further areas for improvement including policy aspects.
