Dr Jean Gabriel CUBY (Institute of the Sciences of Universe at the National Center of Scientific Research, CNRS-INSU, France and Executive Director Canada-France-Hawai‘i Telescope (CFHT) 65-1238 Mamalahoa Hwy Kamuela, HI 96743, USA)
A number of new Fundamental Research Facilities are facing societal issues.They are indeed not new but take more and more importance as the consciousness of some societal aspects is increasing. They are not specific to this domain but impact many activity fields. It was thought to introduce this point in the School with some example case.
