The Europaische Akademie is concerned with the study of the consequences of scientific and technological advance both for the individual and for society at large as well as for the natural environment. One important pillar of its work is to assess the consequences of advances in medical research and technology. In recent years, neuroscience has been a particularly prolific discipline stimulating many innovative treatment approaches in medicine. However, when it comes to the brain, new techniques of intervention do not always meet with a positive public response, in spite of promising...

Die zuverlassige Versorgung einer hoch technisierten Gesellschaft mit elektrischer Energie ist von enormer Bedeutung. Der Bedarf an unterbrechungsfreiem Strom wachst bestandig; gleichzeitig sind Forderungen nach Wirtschaftlichkeit, Effizienz, Kostengerechtigkeit und nicht zuletzt Umweltschutz zu erfullen.
Hinzu kommt, dass grundlegend veranderte rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen in Deutschland und Europa Netzbetreiber vor grosse Herausforderungen stellen: Die Netze mussen langfristig ausgebaut werden, um einen EU-weiten Strombinnenmarkt gewahrleisten zu konnen. Kurz- bis mittelfristig...

A recently established technique termed pharming uses genetically modified plants and animals for the production of biopharmaceuticals. The present interdisciplinary study comprises an extended overview of the state of the art of pharming, as well as in depth analyses of the environmental risks and other ethical and legal issues of pharming. Public attitudes to pharming are investigated on the basis of an original survey in 15 countries worldwide. The study concludes with specific recommendations addressed towards science, industry and politics.

Die nachhaltige Nutzung verfugbarer Energieressourcen, deren Moglichkeiten derzeit viel diskutiert werden, beinhaltet auch eine zukunftsfahige Hausenergieversorgung. Eine Option dafur stellen Brennstoffzellen in Minikraftwerken als Heizungsersatz dar, mit denen bei einer koordinierten Kopplung und Steuerung in sogenannten Virtuellen Kraftwerken durch bedarfsgerechte Fahrweise neben einer Grundversorgung auch Nachfragespitzen abgedeckt werden konnen.
Die vorliegende Studie zeigt Wege fur einen zukunftsfahigen Einsatz der Technologien Brennstoffzelle und Virtuelles Kraftwerk...

The book series on the ethics of science and technology assessment edited by the Europ?ische Akademie is devoted to the publication of the work-reports of its project groups, works on the foundations of ethics, the philosophy science, and other issues related to the work of the Europ?ische Akademie. In addition, the series comprises the proceedings of conferences organized by the academy. The 13th volume documents the proceeding of the academy's spring symposium in 2000 on Rationing in Medicine which was held in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler on March 23-25, 2000. An intense discussion on the future...

Technology Assessment processes can be taken as a paradigm for interdisciplinary research. It is expected that interdisciplinary Technology Assessment is able to find solutions for actual sociopolitical problems that go beyond those expected from one individual scientific discipline alone. The common notion, that for tasks like this different disciplinary perspectives should be brought together, confronts the fact that there is no common notion on how interdisciplinary research should be done. In the present volume European experts of Technology Assessment present their perspectives on...

In der "Wissensgesellschaft" finden informationswissenschaftliche Metaphern zunehmend Verbreitung. Begriffe wie "Information" oder "Gen" haben nicht nur eine die Forschung beeinflussende Wirkung in verschiedenen bio-, sozial- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen, sondern sie beeinflussen zugleich die Konstitution und Veranderung von "Menschenbildern" in Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft.
Die dabei in die lebenswissenschaftliche Forschung eingebrachten anthropologischen Pramissen wie Konsequenzen mussen kritisch analysiert und nach ihren Geltungsbedingungen hinterfragt werden, um zu...

'Enabling Social Europe' examines how the paradigm of the 'enabling welfare state' might offer a new perspective for European social policy in the decades to come. The 'enabling' concept is perceived as going beyond that of mere 'activation', thus also embracing policies aimed at increasing personal autonomy, individual responsibility and social inclusion by endowing individuals with the resources and capabilities needed to manage and balance their life courses in a better way. The study is distinguished by a unique collaboration of social and economic policy experts coming from a wide range...
