Obiettivo
Specific Objectives
1) To investigate new relations between science and governance, concentrating on issues of risks and trust;
2) To support EU policies on the accessibility and reliability of information, by deploying the best available knowledge, both formal
(institutional analysis, multi-criteria decision aid, NUSAP scheme) and informal (e.g. participatory methods);
3) To develop a methodology to analyse and to assess the reliability and quality of the information to be used in the formulation of public policies in which science and technology play a specific role;
4) To explore "cyber contexts" (in the framework of European projects), enabling the joint participation of experts, administrators, and wide sectors of the community in policy decision processes by designing, developing and applying Internet based multi-media interactive tools.
The results of these complementary projects will contribute towards the formulation of alternative well-documented options for future sustainable management policies in Europe.
5) To explore the relation between two complementary aspects to governance, electronic and extended ("e2-governance").
Planned Deliverables
Specific deliverables to DGs:
Framework and Guidelines
- Report on guidelines for a NUSAP protocol and specifications for a prototype software implementation for knowledge assessment;
- Framework and guidelines for new interfaces for science & governance: design and deployment of ICT-based scientific tools to be used with non-scientific audiences (July 2002);
- In support of DG ENV & EEA: to develop and to test an integrated methodology for environmental assessment in a case study proposed by the customers (in collaboration with IPSC 24);
- In support of the Water Framework Directive to draft guidelines on participatory approaches to Basin Planning and Management and establishing validation tools for testing the Guidance prepared, including pilot testing in one or more Members States and in consultation with stakeholders.
As a result of the research:
- Reports and scientific papers;
- Software development
- Participation in several scientific and policy networks.
Summary of 2001 Deliverables: 31/12/2001
This project started at the end of 2000 developing from Project 38 (Integrated Assessment and Decision Support). During that year it has:
- Developed the ALEPH method of multi-objective, multi-scale integrated representation for participatory strategic Integrated Assessment (Report on Methodology; Prototype Informatic Tool);
- Produced inputs for the EC White Paper on Governance, and the JRC's Programme Directorate in the field of uncertainty and risks, and science and governance;
- Participated and animated several scientific networks (EFIEA, TRUSTNET, ENSIPP);
- Exploratory research: Integration of Sustainability into Sectoral Policies. In collaboration with IPSC 24.
- New competitive projects: NESIS (with IPSC 24) and AIRP ACOMPANYING MEASURES (100% financed), SCA Virtualis and SCA Advisor;
- Participation in several scientific conferences and workshops as invited keynote speakers.
Output Indicators and Impact
Output:
- Prototype software tool for knowledge assessment;
- Guidelines for deploying ICT-based participatory tools.
Impact:
- Testing by customers;
- Number of hits in the relevant websites.
Summary of the project
The aim of the project is to apply a range of approaches and techniques in order to facilitate dialogue and participation of a wide variety of stakeholders in decision-making. It participates in the EC initiative on science and governance developing tools for the quality assurance of scientific inputs to policy processes in the emergent field of "e2-governance"(electronic & extended).
Rationale
The Direct RTD Actions in the Fifth Framework Programme aim at the promotion of a 'sustainable information society', which encompasses the following principles:
- information society for all;
- the replacement of the 'command and control' approach to governance by shared responsibility between government institutions, business and the publics;
These two principles are interlinked, because the technology of the information society enables the implementation of the new approach to governance.
Information technologies have a great and growing power to provide information, quickly, cheaply, in large quantities to many users. But the technologies themselves for e-governance do not guarantee the quality of that information. The development of a sustainable information society requires public trust in the technology and the information it provides. The providers, users and regulators of the technologies must resolve many issues. These include the reliability of the information, the protection of the privacy, security and civil liberties of its users, and its accessibility by all sectors of society, as well as the openness, transparency and legitimacy of the technology and its governing institutions. Then the information technologies will realise their promise as the means for providing a forum for broad and effective citizens' participation in new forms of governance.
The application of a Knowledge Assessment (KA) approach encompasses the design and deployment of "public-friendly" and state-of-the-art Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
This project, using a Knowledge Assessment framework employing communication technology, aims at supporting this effort by integrating scientific and technological developments with their socio-economic, cultural and institutional contexts.
This research effort must be developed in close co-operation with and complementing national, regional, and community institutions, in order to promote the goals and diffuse the results and innovations.
