Policy consulting and societal dialogue has the goal of supporting society and policymaking in understanding the problems ahead connected to the great transitions as well as by assessing the available options for managing them.The event is organised within the framework of the PACITA ('Parliaments and civil society in technology assessment') project. PACITA is a four-year EU financed project under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) aimed at increasing the capacity and enhancing the institutional foundation for knowledge-based policy-making on issues involving science, technology and innovation.For further information, please visit:http://pacita.strast.cz/en/conference/general-info
