Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (IPTS), in Seville, Spain, is one of the 7 scientific
institutes of the EC.JRC which was set up in 1994 and has over 100 employees:
IPTS focus on analysing the links between technology, economy and society.
It provides EU policy makers with techno-economic analysis. Its work
focuses on monitoring and analysing science and technology developments
and the impact they have on society and the economy. IPTS work is structured
along the lines of FP6 and includes a series of auctions in a range
of areas: energy, transport, techno-economic foresight, life sciences,
information and communications, industrial and clean technologies:
