	abstract = {Research on the interfaces between science and society is a growing area. This is the
		direct consequence of the evolution of how science has pervaded public life and of how
		society is becoming an active participant in that changing role of science. A new conception of knowledge appears to be emerging, based on awareness of complexity,
		uncertainty and a plurality of legitimate perspectives. Democracy is extending into the
		previously quite exclusive scientific realm, and science must submit to public scrutiny
		and participation in the appropriate ways. This means that the public is beginning to
		become engaged in the process of governance of knowledge. A reflection on the methods and tools for knowledge quality assurance, namely on its inputs to extended policy and decision-making processes, is needed.
