The goal of this project is to provide the blueprints for a value-based and value-informed new and flexible governance of the science-society relation in Europe. The study shall identify necessary research tasks in order to move from a generic understanding of value-based and value-informed governance to more specific mechanisms of governance that improve current practice. Emerging biotechnologies with dual use problematic and security technologies (biometrics) shall serve as pilots to test the validity of the framework.
