Technology Assessment of the Research and Development of New Materials
It is the task of the Europäische Akademie to establish contacts in Central and Eastern European countries. In this project an inventory of the situation with respect to Technology Assessment, especially in the countries of Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary, was worked out. The goal is to systematically record relevant information in the areas of fundamental policy decisions and legal regulations, of institutions and private persons, of subjects and projects as well as of cooperative relationships and publications. In summary, it can be said that, due to the different political, economic, legal, and historic conditions, there is a difference in the demands as well as in the methodology of Technology Assessment. These different conditions can lead to new, innovative developments in Technology Assessment.
