How can uncertain fisheries science be linked with good governance processes, thereby increasing management legitimacy and effectiveness? Reducing the uncertainties around scientific models has long been perceived as cure of problem. There is however recognition that uncertainty in numbers will remain. A lack transparency respect to these damage credibility science. The EU Commission's proposal for a reformed Common Fisheries Policy calls more self-management fishing industry by fishers'...
ABSTRACT Leading RRI researchers and practitioners, together with policymakers stakeholder organisations, discussed the state-of-the-art future perspectives for at 'Pathways to Transformation' conference in June 2019, an event which was extended beyond Brussels, instance by ca. 330 original tweets 840 retweets from 160 unique accounts. In conference, many participants expressed their concern about uncertain EC. As a result, numerous large-scale EU-funded projects signed Joint Declaration 1 ,...
This paper develops a sequential model of precautionary risk regulation that contributes substantively and procedurally to the European Commission's position on precaution. At first, four concepts policy are distinguished which taken into account in conceptualisation regulation. The then expounds key challenges characterising, evaluating managing risks: these seriousness, uncertainty, complexity, socio-political ambiguity. Subsequently, architecture is set out, characterised by following...
In this paper, we present the Integrated Policy Package Assessment (IPPA) approach and relate IPPA to three substantial concepts of problem-oriented research concerned with societal transformations: technology assessment (TA), sustainability (SR), responsible innovation (RRI). The provides (political) decision-makers transformation orientation knowledge via a four-step process (1) design, (2) analysis, (3) evaluation, (4) discourse policy package assessment. It is illustrated case study...
AbstractIn Europe, marine environmental risks are governed in a complex multi-level system. The role that the region could or should play as level of risk governance has attracted growing attention late. In this context, reference been made to regional sea one at which participatory processes future governing European Union's (EU) environment and resources required. paper unfolds particular challenges faces when trying implement stakeholder citizen deliberation level.

This paper describes the results of a research project aimed at conceptual development an identification system for emerging mycotoxins in European feed and food supply chains wheat. Basic requirements such were addressed, including selection indicators, locating information sources, underlying model, investigation stakeholders' needs. The ranking key indicators identifying was based on literature review, followed by structured expert judgment study. study Delphi technique used panel 43...
Das Konzept der Risiko-Governance beschreibt einen integrierten Ansatz, wie mit Risiken – und dabei insbesondere komplexen, unsicheren oder kontrovers diskutierten umgegangen werden kann. Dabei bezieht sich Ansatz auf die Integration verschiedener, bislang meist getrennt betrachteter Aktivitäten technische-naturwissenschaftliche Risikoabschätzung, das Risikomanagement Risikokommunikation. Der Schwerpunkt dieses Beitrages liegt den zentralen fünf Phasen des Ansatzes: Pre-Assessment,...
In response to climate change challenges, a main policy emphasis is on transitioning the energy system from high- low-carbon supply. The German transition first and foremost based political decisions interventions. These need be assessed ex ante ensure good governance approach policies, for which this paper introduces Integrated Policy Package Assessment (IPPA). IPPA consists of four steps: design, assessment, evaluation discourse.The results section illustrates framework by applying it...
Responsible research and innovation (RRI) approaches that have emerged in the past ten years point to importance of engaging public dialogues about research. The different variants RRI share notion societal actors, including citizens, need work together – is, engage two-way communication during process order better align both its outcomes with values, needs expectations society. Yet, sponsors organizers often face difficulties recruiting sufficient numbers participants or ensuring a level...
