The TECHDEM (Technology and Demogracy) project is inscribed in one of the most important debates in today’s Europe: the one addressing the role of expert knowledge in political decision-making. The citizens have been demanding efficient solutions to the wide range of problems linked to the globalisation, as well as an active participation in the related decision-making process. Governance, economy and social relations have all suffered radical transformations that should be actively assessed and shaped, rather that passively accepted or resisted.
