The Europäische Akademie The Europ¨ aische Akademie zur Erforschung von Folgen wissenschaftlich-technischer Entwicklungen GmbH is concerned with the scientific study of consequences of scientific and technological advance for the individual and social life and for the natural environment. The Europ¨aische Akademie intends to contribute to a rational way of society of dealing with the consequences of scientific and technological developments. This aim is mainly realised in the development of recommendations for options to act, from the point of view of long-term societal acceptance. The work of the Europ¨aische Akademie mostly takes place in temporary interdisciplinary project groups, whose members are recognised scientists from European universities. Overarching issues, e.g. from the fields of Technology Assessment or Ethic of Science, are dealt with by the staff of the Europ¨aische Akademie. The Series The series Ethics of Science and Technology Assessment (Wissenschaftsethik und Technikfolgenbeurteilung) serves to publish the results of the work of the Europ¨aische Akademie. It is published by the academy’s director. Besides the final results of the project groups the series includes volumes on general questio
