Comparative Table of Parliamentary TA Institutions
AUSTRIA - THE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT
Finding Topics
As a scientific research institute, the ITA is relatively free in
setting its focal points and determining its topics. The framework is
formed by the medium-term research programme, which is updated on an
annual basis by means of an internal meeting in which the future topics
are presented by the individual researchers and discussed in the group.
The decision-making meeting is preceded by a monitoring process which,
while being immanent in daily work at the ITA, is intensified during
the period preceding the updating of the research programme. The
programme determined in this way is submitted to the SAB, which can
propose adjustments.
