Abstract
Scientific research is now a large international activity and has become very professional with many connections among researchers, but also has formed an alliance with the world’s economic sphere. The benefits of research are mainly oriented towards economic competition. More recently, a local to global movement has been born with a goal to promote a bottom-up approach to research questions. Participative researches could be the new paradigm of the knowledge society promoted by the European Community and the main part of the Science in society scientific domain. Many initiatives have been developed at different levels of interaction with the public and they are in a position to continue making significant contributions to the democratization of sciences.
