Science policy is increasingly shifting towards an emphasis in societalproblems or grand challenges. As a result, new evaluative tools are needed tohelp assess not only the knowledge production side of research programmes ororganisations, but also the articulation of research agendas with societalneeds. In this paper, we present an exploratory investigation of science supplyand societal needs on the grand challenge of obesity -an emerging healthproblem with enormous social costs. We illustrate a potential approach thatuses topic modelling to explore: (a) how scientific publications can be used todescribe existing priorities in science production; (b) how records ofquestions posed in the European parliament can be used as an instance ofmapping discourse of social needs; (c) how the comparison between the two mayshow (mis)alignments between societal concerns and scientific outputs. Whilethis is a technical exercise, we propose that this type of mapping methods canbe useful for informing strategic planning and evaluation in funding agencies.
