The Europaische Akademie zur Erforschung von Folgen
wissenschaftlich-techni scher Entwicklungen Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler
GmbH (european academy) is con cerned with the scientific study of
the consequences of scientific and technological advance for the
individual and social life and for the natural environment. The
main focus is to examine foreseeable mid-and long-term processes
that are especially influenced by natural-and engineering sciences
and the medical disciplines. The academy fulfills this task by
organizing interdisciplinary expert discussions. Another important
issue of the work of the Europaische Akademie concerns the
methodology of Technology Assessment as a general issue. This is
the main reason that the european academy organized during the past
two years a project funded by the European Commission on Technology
Assessment. Methods and Impact (TAMI). Together with partners from
all over Europe a common understanding of what Tech nology
Assessment (TA) is supposed to do was developed. Most importantly
it was acknowledged that the core of any TA activity has to be a
sound scientific under standing of the relevant phenomena.
Communication then is of cordial importance to reach the relevant
decision makers as well as the general public. It is true that this
phase of the TA process has been treated with too little attention
for many years. The communication processes between scientific
advisers and policy makers have hence to be further scrutinized."
