Modern societies are immensely permeated by technologies and thus also dependent on them. Increasingly, this is also true for countries in the global South.

The shape of global technology assessment

2023 , Ladikas, Miltos , Hahn, Julia , Hennen, Leonhard , Est, Rinie van , Peissl, Walter , Lindner, Ralf

This chapter draws tentative conclusions from the findings of the book contributions with regard to possible future ways to organise TA on a global scale. These considerations comprise a discussion of possible organisational shapes that can support the global interchange and sharing of TA capacities, and increase its political relevance and operability on a global level. Beyond such medium- and long-term aspirations, the outlook reflects on more short-term practical steps that could be taken within the globalTA Network to improve interchange of knowledge and expertise, engage in joint projects and mutually foster analytical and methodological capacities.
