Irish have lowest interest in Science & Technology among European youths
A report from the European Commission in October indicates that Irish youth have the lowest interest in Science & Technology news compared to other Europeans... The level of interest in science and technology news was the highest in Portugal and Greece – with 86% and 85%, respectively, of respondents who said these topics appealed to them. These two countries showed the smallest difference between the level of interest in science and technology news compared to news items about culture and entertainment. Interest in the former, on the other hand, was the lowest in Ireland and the Netherlands – with only a slim majority of respondents showing interest in these scientific topics (53% and 54%, respectively).
