This project began with the changes in the names of the European Commission’s action plans for the relationship between science and society. Analysing the main relevant documents in the last four European science policy framework programmes (FP5, FP6, FP7, H2020), we asked how much terminologies, meanings, and foci of attention have changed. A more detailed look confirms the growing importance attached to this area of intervention and the transformation in the priorities and conceptions orienting these policies. This gradual change not only largely reflects the academic debates on the need for more participatory and dialogical ways of bringing science and society closer together, but also poses new challenges when interpreting the ultimate goals and potential implications of the plans. Issues of governance of science and the transformation of scientific institutions are gaining ground compared to those of science education and public communication of science. Equally clear is the progressive incorporation of the questions of innovation and the markets into this area of political action, in a way reconfiguring the balance between aims related with democracy and participation, on the one hand, and economic competitiveness on the other. The range of social actors involved in these actions has also changed. Employing a discourse that is often vague, these plans tend to call for a certain de-differentiation of the roles traditionally attributed to the various institutions (scientific, political, business, media), valuing some, omitting others, and repositioning several.

欧洲科学与社会关系行动计划：改变流行语，改变议程

该项目始于欧盟委员会关于科学与社会关系的行动计划名称的更改。通过分析最近四个欧洲科学政策框架计划（FP5、FP6、FP7、H2020）中的主要相关文件，我们询问了术语、含义和关注焦点发生了多少变化。更详细的观察证实了对这一干预领域的日益重视以及以这些政策为导向的优先事项和概念的转变。这种渐进的变化不仅在很大程度上反映了关于需要更多参与性和对话性方式将科学与社会更紧密地联系在一起的学术辩论，而且在解释计划的最终目标和潜在影响时也提出了新的挑战。与科学教育和科学公共传播的问题相比，科学治理和科学机构转型问题正在取得进展。同样清楚的是，创新和市场问题逐渐纳入这一政治行动领域，以某种方式重新配置与民主和参与相关的目标与另一方面的经济竞争力之间的平衡。参与这些行动的社会参与者的范围也发生了变化。这些计划采用通常含糊不清的话语，倾向于要求对传统上归属于各种机构（科学、政治、商业、媒体）的角色进行一定程度的去分化，重视一些，忽略其他，并重新定位一些。
