Science, Research and the Social Compact with Professor Jonathan Grant - a podcast by RSA

In this episode we speak with Professor Jonathan Grant, Vice President & Vice Principal (Service) King’s College London. Since WWII, publicly funded science and research has been heading down a path largely apart from the public that funds it - in recent times this has led to a breakdown in the social compact. Jonathan provides insights into why this has happened, how the social compact might be renewed and work underway at King’s College London to embed ‘service’ across all aspects of the university’s operations. From research evaluation to peer review, renewing the social compact must be the starting point for any research strategy.
