ASSESSMENT GOES GLOBAL
International Conference, hosted by the Institute of Technology Assessment (ITA) at the Austrian Academy of Sciences in cooperation with the globalTA network
Vienna/Austria & online on June 2-4, 2025
The conference programme is available here
Registration for participation is open until 15 May, register here
From 2 to 4 June, Vienna becomes the hub of the global TA community. The programme includes around 80 presentations, workshops and discussion panels, with experts from North America, Latin America, Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia, and even Oceania.
Several sessions explore how technology assessment and policy advice in the field of technology and society is happening worldwide. Highlights include inputs from Julia Hahn (Germany), co-founder of the globalTA network, science-diplomat Krishna Ravi Srinivas (India), Karen Howard (USA), director of the US Parliament's TA facility, Mahlet Teshome (Ethiopia), who works at the African Union, and Peta Ashworth from Curtin University (Australia). Another highlight is a keynote speech by the Chilean expert on parliamentary TA, Raimundo Roberts, who sheds light on TA from a Latin American perspective.
Numerous presentations will address the structures and rules needed to prevent the negative effects of digitalization, sessions on hypes and their impact on technology development and on TA and quantum technologies also promise to be exciting. The event will conclude with a high-profile roundtable discussion with experts from international organisations, chaired by Douglas Robinson (OECD).
The ITA team looks forward to meeting all of you in Vienna!
