IPTS Technical Reports
The Institute of Prospective Technological Studies, part of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC), has recently published four new studies in its "Technical Report" series. The IPTS' work, carried out principally on behalf of the Commission, is to assess and evaluate new technologies and their effects on society. The present studies are the results of research carried out by the Institute's own staff, or by outside researchers on its behalf. The latest reports in the series (with their catalogue numbers) are: - Towards an integrated conceptual framework - Modern biotechnology and the greening of industry (EUR 17340EN); - The dynamics of innovation in bio-engineering catalysis - Cases and analysis (EUR 17341EN); - Identifying "hot spots" in engineered biocatalyst research and applications by means of bibliometrics (EUR 17342EN); - A technological and market study on the future prospects for titanium to the year 2000 (EUR 17343EN).
