“Get some perspective!” cried the Europeans…
When we look at whether Europeans believe that scientists are only looking at very specific scientific and technological issues and this makes them unable to oversee problems from a wider perspective, 47% of respondents agree and 22% disagree that this is the case.
Europeans, however, are not convinced that nowadays the problems we are facing are so complex that specialists in science and technology are no longer able to understand them; 37% of respondents agree with this while 34% disagree that this is so.
