Abstract
In recent decades significant progress has been made in involving citizens in science. However, concerns about the participation of citizens remain. The main question of this thesis was therefore the following: “To what extent are young students aware of the benefits of science for society and participating in scientific research?” Focus groups have been conducted in order to answer this research question. The purpose of this thesis was to determine to what extent young students are aware of the benefits of scientific research for society, the social impact of science and the importance of participating in science. This thesis was undertaken to describe what kind of awareness-raising initiatives succeeding at engaging citizens in scientific participation and what policies that promote awareness-raising actions and citizen engagement in science young students know. Although it is complicated to give an unambiguous answer to the questions, it is possible to give a description of the awareness of young students about these topics.
