The PACITA project ”Parliaments and Civil Society in Technology Assessment”

The PACITA project aimed to boost European PTA capacity, foster knowledge-based policy-making, and diversify PTA practices by engaging stakeholders directly. Through workshops, debates, training sessions, and conferences, PACITA forged a network of PTA institutions across Europe, documenting existing practices, training users, and stimulating debates on pressing societal issues. By incorporating interactive TA approaches, PACITA contributed to shaping a more inclusive and informed policy landscape in Europe.
