The Rathenau Institute is an independent organization that concerns itself with issues on the interface between science, technology and society, and that provides politicians with timely and well-considered information. The Institute was founded in 1986, and currently has some 50 staff.
The Rathenau Institute has two core tasks. Traditionally, it studies the impacts of science and technology on society from the point of view of the public. This is known in professional circles as Technology Assessment, or TA.
Since 2004 the Institute has also been investigating how the science system performs and how it responds to scientific and social developments. This task is called Science System Assessment, or SciSA.
The mission
The Rathenau Institute focuses on the influence of science and technology on our daily lives and maps its dynamics; through independent research and debate.
