POPULARIZATION OF HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS AND UNESCO'S PROGRAMME "PROMOTION OF PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING OF SCIENCE"
Yuri NOVOZHILOVDepartment of Scientific Policy & Information, Unesco
Abstract
Popularization of science is only a small part of what we in Unesco call the "Promotion of public understanding of science". However, at this Conference we speak not only about popularization of science in the strict sense of the word, but also about the role of high energy physics (HEP) in the contemporary society. If we accept this more general view of popularization of HEP, then one can find many links with differents parts of the Unesco programme "Promotion of public understanding of science". The most important part of the programme - which is presently being discussed - concerns the human implications of scientific advance. I will try to describe to you some aspects of the Unesco's programme as well as its possible relevance to HEP.
