Special Eurobarometer 341: Biotechnology
Descripción
This survey on life sciences and biotechnology shows that Europeans are optimistic about biotechnology. 53% of respondents believe biotechnology will have a positive effect in the future, and only 20% a negative effect. The survey also reveals important knowledge gaps, pointing to a need for more communication: a majority of respondents had never heard of some of the areas covered by the survey, such as nanotechnology (55% unaware), biobanks (67% unaware) and synthetic biology (83% unaware). The Eurobarometer, carried out in February 2010, is the seventh in a series since 1991. The following points are analysed in five chapters, namely: ♦ Level of optimism about technology ♦ Attitudes and awareness towards biotechnology ♦ Attitudes towards those responsible for biotechnology ♦ Control, beliefs and benefits of biotechnology ♦ Involvement in biotechnology
The results by volumes are distributed as follows:
- Volume A: Countries
- Volume AA: Groups of countries
- Volume A' (AP): Trends
- Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries
- Volume B: EU/socio-demographics
- Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics
-
Volume C: Country/socio-demographics
