Comparative Table of Parliamentary TA Institutions
POLAND - BUREAU OF RESEARCH
Institutionalisation
The Bureau was established in 1991 as a unit of
the Chancellery of the Sejm – an institution responsible for all administrative
and organisational aspects of the Sejm’s activities.
The scope of research areas covered by BAS is
wide and ranges from constitutional and legal matters, budgetary issues, EU
policies and regulations, to variety of social and economic issues. BAS is not
a typical TA institute (entirely devoted to TA problems): so far, information
on new technologies in general and on technology assessment in particular,
represent a small fraction in the scope of BAS’ portfolio. However, as the
significance of new technologies is more apparent and awareness of their
societal and environmental consequences is growing, one can expect that also
the Sejm’s interest in TA will gradually increase bringing about a greater BAS
involvement in TA research.
