Preface to the Translation
The Europäische Akademie zur Erforschung von Folgen wissenschaftlich-technischer Entwicklungen Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler GmbH is concerned with the scientific study of the consequences of scientific and technological advance both for the individual and social life and for the natural environment. The Europäische 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 a long-term societal acceptance. The work of the Europäische Akademie mostly is carried out in temporary interdisciplinary project groups whose members are notable scientists from various European universities. Overarching issues, e.g. from the fields of Technology Assessment or Ethics of Science, are dealt with by the staff of the Europäische Akademie. The results of the work of the Europäische Akademie is published in the series “Wissenschaftsethik and Te
