Science shops – grass-roots research organisations – are a crucial interface between scientists and citizens that directly serve, through a bottom-up approach to research, the scientific needs of local communities across Europe. Standing at the junction between science and society, their mix of the local and the pan-European makes science shops candidates for EU support. By cutting away the layers separating science and society, they are helping to pave the way towards science for society.
