Project: Participatory toward Anticipatory (PtA) Project: The "Participatory Toward Anticipatory"

project envisioned to put the public at the center of decision-making around new technologies. It will instigate a shift from a traditional top-down approach, led by the private sector and government, to a bottom-up model where society collectively shapes its desired future. To achieve this envision, it will reignite interest in Technology Assessment (TA) in Canada and create a dynamic, engaging TA tool designed to explore how the public can actively participate in the process.
