Special Eurobarometer 516 : European citizens’ knowledge and attitudes towards science and technology
Publisher
Description
This survey shows that 9 in 10 EU citizens (86%) think that the overall influence of science and technology is positive. They expect a range of technologies: notably, solar energy (92%), vaccines and combatting infectious diseases (86%) and artificial intelligence (61%) to have a positive effect in the future. Results reveal a high level of interest in science and technology (82%) and a desire amongst citizens to learn more about it in places like town halls, museums and libraries (54%). Respondents most often mention health and medical care and the fight against climate change when asked in which areas research and innovation can make a difference.
