| Description: | It performs inter-disciplinary scientific research at the interface of technology and society. Its work focuses on development trends, on societal consequences and on options for shaping technological change. Investigations into the applications of new technologies in their societal context and the analysis of technological and societal conditions, of risks and opportunities provide the basis for developing technological and organisational design alternatives and regulatory options. A pre-condition for ITA's work is solid basic research and the effort to detect fields of future problems as early as possible. |
