Technology Assessment

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses selected aspects concerning Technology Assessment as an institutionalised way of supporting public policy in the area of technology governance. The author introduces the concept of governance (as opposed to governement), i.e. a decision-making proces that proposes more involvement of citizens and discusses its principles (openness, participation, accountability, effectiveness, coherence). The author argues that Technology Assessment is a very important field of good governance as it contributes to the formation of public and political opinion on societal aspects of science and technology.
