| Abstract | The chapter highlights the need for public understanding and support of scientific research, especially basic research with no immediate practical applications. It discusses the polarization in public attitudes towards science and emphasizes the importance of valuing curiosity-driven research for societal progress.An experiment conducted in 2022 involving CERN and the FCC project surveyed 8,443 responses from adult laypersons outside the scientific community, expanding on previous surveys in France and Switzerland. Key findings indicate public awareness and generally positive attitudes towards CERN and particle physics research. The public’s attitudes vary according to respondents’ socioeconomic traits. |
