This international
conference concludes the three year EU sponsored PAGANINI
research project about life science governance. In
PAGANINI (Participatory Governance and Institutional
Innovation), an international team of social scientists
(from Amsterdam, Hanover, Lancaster, Kaunas, Crete,
Tampere and Vienna) has looked at a number of different
topics ranging from stem cell research, genetic testing,
nuclear power dilemmas and nature conservation to
genetically modified food and food policy to identify
how these areas are governed, how they might be governed
in the future, and what role there is for participatory
practices in all of this. |
