  • Communication and science, in public policy, should allow society to develop their democratic systems. In limiting the increasingly democratic systems located in various corners of the world, science seems to be a matter of strange or gifted beings and some of itss findings have become an absolute mystery. The academy (represented in public and private universities) and state institutes and/or private research highly complex subjects and has become a kind of ivory tower to which the ordinary citizen has no access and where scientific results are considered as issues uniquely destined for the discussion of an empowered elite. This article, which is a product of research on �Public Communication: a space for the construction of democracy� made by a collective group of researchers in Communication, Organization and Policy-COP-, attempts to address the importance of public communication, disclosure and social appropriation of science as a factor in the consolidation of democracy.
