China: the Next Science Superpower? James Wilsdon and James Keeley the Atlas of Ideas: Mapping the New Geography of Science
China: The next science superpower? James Wilsdon and James Keeley The Atlas of Ideas: Mapping the new geography of science About Demos Demos is one of the UK’s most influential think tanks. Our research focuses on five areas: cities, culture, identity, public services and science. We analyse social and political change, which we connect to innovation and learning in organisations. Our partners include policy-makers, companies, public service providers and social entrepreneurs. Our international network – which extends across Europe, Scandinavia, Australia, Brazil, India and China – provides a global perspective and enables us to work across borders. As an independent voice, we can create debates that lead to real change. We use the media, public events, workshops and publications to communicate our ideas. All our publications can be downloaded free from www.demos.co.uk James Wilsdon is head of science and innovation at Demos and a senior research fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies at Lancaster University. His research interests include science and innovation policy, emerging technologies, sustainability and globalisation. He regularly advises government agencies, companies and NGOs on these topics. Together with Charles Leadbeater, he is the coordinator of The Atlas of Ideas project. His recent publications include Governing at the Nanoscale (with M Kearnes and P Macnaghten, Demos, 2006); The Public Value of Science (with B Wynne and J Stilgoe, Demos, 2005); and See-through Science (with R Willis, Demos, 2004).
