Background
The China-Europe Dialogue on Society| provides an arena in which the practice of public dialogue can be encouraged. In their recent consultation document, A Vision for Science and Society|, the DIUS (Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills) especially promotes 'public dialogue', describing it as 'a form of deliberative participatory engagement where outcomes are used to inform decision making', and thus 'a core activity for government in its role as policy maker'.
On 27-28 Oct 2008 the CCPN and the China-Europa Forum|, successfully organised the Preparatory meeting in North Europe for the 3rd Biennial of the China-Europa Forum|, the only forum focusing specifically on Chinese and European societies. The CCPN will participate in China-Europa Forum| activities in an ongoing fashion, in accordance with the 'Vision for Science and Society' from both the DIUS and the British Academy's response|, which focuses on 'enhancing dialogue on science in public debate', the first of three issues. Exploring such kinds of public engagement is one of objects of the CCPN Knowledge Transfer Strategy|.
The Researchers Fostering Laboratory| provides general advice and support to LSE student organizations for arranging China related events. In order to support students' initiative on public engagement we formed a partnership with the LSUsu China Development Society|, and helped students successfully organized the 'China Development Forum|', the first China-Theme forum in London on 31st Jan 2009 (See p8 of the LSE Events 13 January to 22 April 2009).
