NORWAY - THE NORWEGIAN BOARD OF TECHNOLOGY
The way ahead
After the terrorist attacks in
Norway July 2011, the Prime Minister has made calls for increased
safety measures that do not infringe freedom and democracy. The Board
has therefore established a project on security and openness that aims
at providing Parliament and the Government input for tackling this
challenge.
The Board will also continue its focus on welfare and care
technologies, which are also included in the EU-project PACITA. In an
ageing society, welfare gains will to a large extent rely on a wise and
smart development of technology. Other planned projects include the
future of power supply, medical self-testing and advanced manufacturing.
We aim to develop further our participatory methods, and are
currently exploring the possibilities of doing participatory methods
online and with social media tools.
