[1] ISSP aims to help make science and technology integral components of societal planning and public discourse and to be a leading platform for highlighting, expanding and rethinking the meaning of scientific social responsibility in universities across Denmark and abroad.
[3] ISSP research groups serve as open and independent platforms for addressing critical contemporary issues that require productive interactions among science, society and policy.
The Living and Intelligent Technology (LIT) group is led by Steen Rasmussen,[9] professor of physics at the University of Southern Denmark, who is also the founder of ISSP.
[citation needed] The Social Software group is led by Vincent F. Hendricks, professor of formal philosophy at the University of Copenhagen.
The mission is motivated by the increasing scarcity of people with Natural Science Masters and engineers in Denmark – if an intervention isn't instantiated.
There is a need to determine how the course from kindergarten to the Natural Science university faculty looks like, to be able to identify the situations in which an intervention will have the greatest effect.
