The EPTA partners advise parliaments on the possible social, economic and environmental impact of new sciences and technologies. The common aim is to provide impartial and high quality accounts and reports of developments in issues such as for example bioethics and biotechnology, public health, environment and energy, ICTs, and R&D policy. EPTA aims to advance the establishment of technology assessment as an integral part of policy consulting in parliamentary decision-making processes in Europe, and to strengthen the links between TA units in Europe.

The 'Network TA' is an association of scientists, experts and practitioners in the broadly understood field of TA (Technology Assessment). The members of the network represent the various forms of TA and cover the broad spectrum between theory and practice, between research and consultancy and between the various scientific disciplines. The aim of the TA network is to promote cooperation among TA researchers and those interested in TA and to make TA known to the scientific, political, business and public communities.
