Genome editing is a powerful new tool allowing precise additions, deletions and substitutions in the genome. The development of new approaches has made editing of the genome much more precise, efficient, flexible, and less expensive, relative to previous strategies. As with other medical advances, each such application comes with its own set of benefits, risks, ethical issues and societal implications, which may require new regulatory frameworks. Important questions raised with respect to genome ...

Mit dem Schwerpunkt auf der Forschung und Entwicklung im Bereich innovativer Arzneimittel wird in dieser Studie ein neuer europäischer Ansatz für die Arzneimittelpolitik erörtert. Nach einer Untersuchung der Merkmale der europäischen Arzneimittelbranche sowie der Stärken und Schwächen des derzeitigen Forschungs- und Geschäftsmodells werden in der Studie die Notwendigkeit und das Konzept einer europäischen Infrastruktur mit langfristiger grenzüberschreitender Aufgabe untersucht. Eine solche europäische ...

The European Commission has proposed a regulation on health technology assessment (HTA). HTA is a research-based tool that supports decision-making in healthcare by assessing the added value of a given health technology compared to others. The proposal would provide the basis for permanent EU-level cooperation in four areas. Member States would still be responsible for assessing the non-clinical (economic, ethical, social, etc.) aspects of health technology, and for pricing and reimbursement. While ...

Bei der Plenartagung im Dezember wird das Europäische Parlament voraussichtlich in zweiter Lesung über einen Vorschlag der Kommission zur Stärkung der Zusammenarbeit der Mitgliedstaaten auf Ebene der EU bei der Bewertung von Gesundheitstechnologien abstimmen. Eine verbesserte Zusammenarbeit wäre für die nationalen Gesundheitssysteme und die Hersteller von Arzneimitteln und Medizinprodukten von Vorteil, da sie die Genehmigungsverfahren vereinfachen würde. Gleichzeitig käme sie den Patienten zugute ...

The first part of the STOA study 'A framework for technology foresight intelligence', this report includes a set of five horizon-scanning reports or 'radars', built with the resources of Futures Platform and covering several areas, including the world after Covid-19, disruptive futures, the Green Deal, food, and geoengineering. Horizon scanning is a discipline that could be harnessed to inform the future activities of the Panel for the Future of Science and Technology (STOA) at both strategic and ...

The implementation of foresight routines will help in preparing future policies. Evidence-based foresight practices will ensure that policy-making is trustworthy and future-fit. This paper is partly inspired by the evidence-related policy issues encountered in managing the coronavirus outbreak. The Covid 19 crisis was, and remains, characterised by uncertainties and evidence that change by the hour through progressive insight. Policy-makers had to make decisions that balanced expert advice and presumed ...

The overall objective of the future of crop protection project is to present an overview of crop protection options for European farmers to enable them to work sustainably while securing food production, preserving biodiversity and supporting farmers' incomes. The policy options proposed are based on an assessment of current and emerging crop protection practices and their impact on the common agricultural policy (CAP) objectives. This overview shows that several crop protection practices are under ...

What if blockchain revolutionised voting? What if your emotions were tracked to spy on you? And what if we genetically engineered an entire species? Science and policy are intricately connected. Via monthly 'What if' publications, the Scientific Foresight Unit (STOA; part of the European Parliamentary Research Service) draws Members of the European Parliament's attention to new scientific and technological developments relevant for policy-making. The unit also provides administrative support to the ...

The impact assessment (IA) accompanying the Commission proposal on strengthening EU cooperation on Health Technology Assessment clearly defines the problem, as well as the general and specific objectives. However, the IA does not appear to have succeeded in presenting a very convincing range of options. The analysis of impacts focuses on the economic dimension, which is consistent with the manner in which the problems have been defined. In light of the reported concentration of SMEs in the medical ...

Selbstfahrende Autos haben das Potenzial, zur Gestaltung eines neuen Mobilitätsszenarios beizutragen, in dem nachhaltigere Verkehrslösungen an die Stelle des traditionellen Paradigmas des Autoeigentums/der Autonutzung treten. Allerdings sind auch ungünstige Entwicklungen denkbar, wenn z. B. die Marktdiffusion automatisierter Fahrzeuge letztendlich nur zu einem Anstieg des privaten Mobilitätsbedürfnisses und der damit zusammenhängenden negativen externen Effekte führen würde. Europäische, nationale ...
