      abstract = {This open access book explores the relevance of the  concept of technology assessment (TA) on an international  and global level. Technologies play a key role in  addressing global challenges such as climate change,  population aging, digitization, and health. At the same  time, their use increases the need for coordinated action  and governance at the global level in the field of science,  technology and innovation (STI). Featuring case studies on  STI fields such as energy, biotechnology, artificial  intelligence, and health technology, as well as TA  activities at the national and international levels, this  book reflects on the challenges and opportunities of global  technology governance. It also provides an in-depth  discussion of current governmental STI cultures and  systems, societal expectations, and the policy priorities  needed to achieve coordinated and effective STI  intervention in policymaking and public debate at the  global level. Lastly, the book promotes the establishment  of a forum for a truly global dialogue of TA practitioners,  fostering the articulation of their needs, knowledge and  perspectives.},
