Knowledge cooperation production helps scientific progress and equality

Alondra Nelson, the acting director of the National White House Science and Technology Policy Office, said that the current world is facing various challenges such as major epidemics and climate change, and we need to promote equality.

Nielson emphasized that the cooperation of knowledge plays an important role in promoting scientific progress and promoting equality. Although the community has provided the public with opportunities to participate in public affairs discussions, knowledge cooperation production has further promoted community participation. Knowledge cooperation production refers to the study involved in the scientific process and enables them to join the research design, execution and conclusion link as partners. "When scientists choose a joint research route, and community members and researchers are equally at the level of operation and decision -making, cooperative production will form a strong thrust, allowing us to obtain unexpected knowledge and problem solutions." Nielsen said.

Nielson said that scientific researchers and governments must work hard to fill the "trust deficit" for the community of marginalized or harmed the Federal Government in history, such as the Aboriginal community. Another measure of repairing trust is to ensure that science and data can be truly used for public use.

Nielson said that we must not only encourage scientific researchers to carry out more knowledge cooperation and production, but also vigorously enhance the fairness of science and technology. In the future, a new scientific research funding mechanism should be considered to help scientists and communities establish long -term mutual benefit relationships, and under the guidance of professional institutions in charge of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, the voices of the community are considered. Nielson said, "Let everyone participate in scientific and technological research and make their own contribution is crucial. Because this is the cornerstone of creating new scientific and technological insights, the key to the United States at the forefront of innovation. thing".
