New topics are initialized by
the TA-SWISS
office on the base of a constant monitoring of new scientific and
technological
developments. Suggestions from external experts or from members of the
TA-SWISS
executive committee are also integrated in this systematic survey. In
this way,
subject areas are identified and within these the project managers
develop
concrete proposals for projects. The TA-SWISS executive committee then
decides which
new studies are taken up.
TA-SWISS
deliberately chooses projects that deal with particularly controversial
technologies and
assesses their benefits
and disadvantages comprehensively.
The Centre’s independence ensures
the credibility necessary for this purpose.
