Abstract: The mission of this journal is to explore constructive connections between science education and civic engagement that will enhance both experiences for students. In the 21st century, mathematical and scientific reasoning is an essential element for full participation in a democratic society. Contributions to this journal will focus on using unsolved, complex civic issues as a framework to develop students’ understanding of the role of scientific knowledge in personal and public decision-making, along with examining how such knowledge is embedded in a broader social and political context. Since many pressing issues are not constrained by national borders, the journal encourages perspectives that are international or global in scope. In addition to examining what students learn, it will also explore how this learning takes place and how it can be evaluated, documented, and strengthened. By exploring civic questions as unsolved challenges, the journal seeks to empower students as engaged participants in their learning on campus and as citizens in their communities.

Abstract: IRIS (Interest & Recruitment in Science) addresses the challenge that few young people (women in particular) choose education and career in science, technology and mathematics (STM). Women represent the greatest recruitment potential to STM; moreover, a higher participation from women may expand the ways of thinking and working within this area and contribute to gender equity. To understand and respond to this challenge, diverse causes and cures must be sought, ranging from school experiences and youth culture via higher education STM curricula and recruitment efforts, up to research department culture, PhD choice and employment patterns. IRIS aims to contribute to understanding and improving recruitment, retention and gender equity patterns in higher STM education. 1. On what priorities, values and experiences do young people base their educational choice? - How may youth's educational choice be interpreted through sociological perspectives on late modern societies? What makes many women turn away from STM? - Which considerations determine choice of PhD research topic for female and male STM students? 2. What are the success factors for efforts aimed at recruiting more (female) students to STM? - What features of STM education, in secondary school and at university level, influence recruitment of (female) students? - What are the effects of STM recruitment initiatives? 3. In what proportions, and for what reasons, do STM students opt out of STM education? - Are there differences in opt-out-rates between countries, institutions and genders? The main instrument will be a questionnaire to be completed by first-year students. All partners will contribute to instrument development, data collection and analysis, each with a specific focus. Questionnaire data will be complemented by literature reviews and smaller quantitative and qualitative studies. Central stakeholders will be brought into the work and results will be disseminated widely.

Abstract: Administrative Data Research UK (ADR UK) is a partnership transforming the way researchers access the UK’s wealth of public sector data, to enable better informed policy decisions that improve people’s lives. By linking together data held by different parts of government, and by facilitating safe and secure access for accredited researchers to these newly joined-up data sets, ADR UK is creating a sustainable body of knowledge about how our society and economy function – tailored to give decision makers the answers they need to solve important policy questions. ADR UK is made up of three national partnerships (ADR Scotland, ADR Wales, and ADR Northern Ireland), and the Office for National Statistics (ONS), which ensures data provided by UK Government bodies is accessed by researchers in a safe and secure form with minimal risk to data holders or the public. The partnership is also coordinated by a UK-wide Strategic Hub, which also promotes the benefits of administrative data research to the public and the wider research community, engages with UK Government to secure access to data, and manages a dedicated research budget. ADR UK is committed to a set of values that are central to the partnership’s activities and progress, guiding how they work together with their partners and defining how they engage with stakeholders and with the public. Their core values are: responsible and ethical data use; independence; relevance and ambition. ADR UK is initially a three-year investment from July 2018 to July 2021, supported by £44 million drawn from the National Productivity Investment Fund (NPIF) via the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), part of the UK Research and Innovation. The research enabled by ADR UK represents a hugely useful resource for anyone seeking to understand and improve UK society, including government policy makers. ADR UK works closely with both UK government departments and the devolved administrations to create opportunities for its research projects to answer their questions, directly inform, and influence policy. In doing so, ADR UK has designed a set of research themes aligned with departmental Areas of Research Interest (ARIs) and the stated priority research interests of the devolved administrations to help answer the most pressing policy questions that UK society faces. ADR UK’s work plays an important role in bridging the gap between government and academia, enabling government policy to be informed by the best evidence available, and putting us on the path to a future in which the true potential of administrative data to improve society is realised. ADR UK’s eight core strategic research themes are: housing and communities; health and wellbeing; children and young people; world of work; growing old; inequality and social inclusion; climate and sustainability; crime and justice.

Abstract: ORION is a 4-year project (runs from May 2017 to April 2021) that has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Science with and for Society (SWAFS) Work Programme. The main aim of SWAFS Programme is to build effective cooperation between science and society. Open science is a core strategy of the European Commission that involves widening participation and collaboration as well as sharing research processes and outcomes to improve research and innovation. ORION will explore ways in which research and funding organisations in life sciences and biomedicine can open up the way they fund, organise and do research. The project aims to trigger evidence-based institutional, cultural and behavioural changes in Research Funding and Performing Organisations (RFPOs), targeting researchers, management staff and high-level leadership. ORION long-term vision is to “embed” open Science and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) principles (ethics, gender, governance, open access, public engagement, and science education) in RFPOs, in their policies, practices and processes to organise and do research. After an assessment exercise on Open Science awareness and practice, the project will co-design and perform “co-creation experiments” with different grouping of RRI actors. Project’s experiments will tackle three specific challenges of Open Science: opening up the research engine; identifying risks and opportunities presented by disruptive technology; running multi-stakeholder Citizen Science (CS) projects in fundamental research. These challenges will serve as case studies to try out different co-design/co-creation methods with multiple stakeholders, and engaging unusual blends of actors, e.g. funders and citizens, or researchers, industry and citizens. The project will identify drivers and barriers, interests and values, and in some cases produce “prototypes”, in the format of new Citizen Science projects, new research strategies and new funding frameworks, and last but not least new training material.
