We are seeing recently a radical transformation of the 'social contract of science'. According to the old contract, the State warranted a high and growing funding to scientific research, deciding its priorities, but minimising the political interferences on scientists' 'internal' practices. Public distrust to some research lines, and decreasing public financial capacity, make necessary a new 'social contract'. Although it is not clear what this new contract should contain, it must satisfy at the least two basic demands: a critical and rational agreement by part of the citizens, and economic sustainability.
