Science & Society

Aims

We strongly believe that scientific research will aid the understanding of Down syndrome.

Every day, our members are working all around the globe in health care centers, academic hospitals, research institutes or universities to bring our ultimate goal a little closer: to unravel the details of Down syndrome with the final aim to better help people with Down syndrome, their families and caregivers.

We realize that scientific results are often difficult to grasp and complex to read.

That is why the Committee for Science & Society has the main aim of approaching science to people. This committee will work together with local Down syndrome associations, explain recent scientific findings and promote access to research for people with DS.
