Investment in science – whether in education and training or through public funding for developing new research tools and technologies – is a crucial priority. Authors from big research laboratories/organizations, funding agencies and academia discuss how investing in science can produce societal benefits as well as identifying future challenges for scientists and policy makers. The volume cites different ways to assess the socio-economic impact of Research Infrastructures and their role as hubs of global collaboration, creativity and innovation. It highlights the different benefits stemming from fundamental research at the local, national and global level, while also inviting us to rethink the notion of “benefit” in the 21st century. Public investment is required to maintain the pace of technological and scientific advancements over the next decades. Far from advocating a radical transformation and massive expansion in funding, the authors suggest ways for maintaining a strong foundation of science and research to ensure that we continue to benefit from the outputs. The volume draws inspiration from the first “Economics of Big Science” workshop, held in Brussels in 2019 with the aim of creating a new space for dialogue and interaction between representatives of Big Science organizations, policy makers and academia. It aspires to provide useful reading for policy makers, scientists and students of science, who are increasingly called upon to explain the value of fundamental research and adopt the language and logic of economics when engaging in policy discussions.Science Policy Reports,2213-1965Nuclear physicsEconomic policySpace sciencesBig dataCapital investmentsParticle and Nuclear Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23002R & D/Technology Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W43000Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030Big Datahttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I29120Investment Appraisalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/612030Conference papers and proceedings.lcgftParticle and Nuclear PhysicsR & D/Technology PolicySpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)Big DataInvestment AppraisalNuclear and Particle PhysicsEconomicsSpace PhysicsFinanceInvesting in fundamental scienceSocietal benefits / value of scienceMeasuring socio-economic impact of scienceBenefits from fundamental researchBig science projects finance/costsCost of large-scale scientific projectsSocietal value of fundamental scienceOpen AccessParticle & high-energy physicsResearch & development managementAstronauticsDatabasesInvestment & securitiesNuclear physics.Economic policy.Space sciences.Big data.Capital investments.Particle and Nuclear Physics.R & D/Technology Policy.Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics).Big Data.Investment Appraisal.539.7Beck Hans Peteredt235496Beck Hans Peteredthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtCharitos Panagiotisedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910424947603321The Economics of Big Science3358455UNINA
