The client and first addressee of our work is the German Bundestag.

Committee on Education, Research and Technology Assessment

According to §56a of the Procedural Rules of the German Bundestag, the Committee on Research, Technology, Space and Technology Assessment (ABFTA) is responsible for political steering in the newly elected Parliament. During each legislative period, the committee establishes a permanent TA rapporteurs group comprising one member from each parliamentary party in the Bundestag. This group prepares all committee decisions, such as the work programme and acceptance of work results, in regular consultation with TAB. The Committee's secretariat facilitätes communication between TAB and the bodies and members of the German Bundestag.

• Members of the Rapporteurs Group TA (2021-2025)

The specialised committees of the Bundestag are important for the parliamentary involvement of our work. They initiate subject-specific research topics for TAB, discuss the submitted reports in their meetings, and the representatives of the parliamentary groups debate them in the plenary sessions.

All the results of TAB's work are published in a freely accessible form - as a Bundestag publication and/or as a TAB publication.

With our reader-friendly summaries (especially our policy briefs in English - TAB-Fokus) we want to contribute to the social dialogue on scientific and technological innovation - in public authorities and companies, at universities and other research and educational institutions, at breakfast tables and in social networks.
