56 min - Global Science & Technology Policy - Together Towards Common Goals | Dr. Miltos Ladikas | Responsible Innovation 100
Countries with the strongest economies today often also have the most vibrant science and technology (STI) sectors in the world. Building such vibrant innovation ecosystems require collaboration among start-ups, SMEs, large corporates, policymakers, NGOs, the public and other innovation stakeholders. Good science and technology (S&T) policies provide these diverse groups with a framework for working together locally or abroad. In this episode, Dr. Miltos Ladikas will take us into national and global S&T policy development. Through the lens of Technology Assessment (TA), he will discuss and compare centralised and decentralised policy development systems across, in particular, European countries and China using examples including genetically modified (GM) foods and nanotechnology developments.
About Miltos:
Dr. Miltos Ladikas is a senior researcher at the Institute of Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany. He had studied Social Psychology at the London School of Economics (M.Sc., PhD), focusing on Societal Aspects in Biotechnology Developments. Since 1996, he has held research positions in the UK and Germany, specialising in science and society issues. Miltos has coordinated several international projects in the areas including science and technology policy, technology assessment, ethics of scientific developments, public perceptions of science and technology, genetically modified foods and access to pharmaceuticals. Miltos advises the European Commission, the European Research Council, the European & Developing Countries Clinical Countries Partnership, and several National Research Funds on social-ethical issues in research. His current work focuses on Global aspects of Technology Assessment, Responsible Innovation, Ethics in Science and Technology Policy and Science Diplomacy.
