    Abstract

    The recent trends in Irish society -- the plastic bag levy, smoke-free public buildings and road safety advertisements -- mean that social marketing is poised to provide alternatives to approaches that are no longer viable. The timing coincides with a shift in emphasis in government policy away from capital expenditure towards value-added outcomes associated with the knowledge society and innovation. This article explores the emerging field of science communication and outreach activities and the application of social marketing to the management and evaluation of such activities as a way forward.
