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

According to §56a of the Procedural Rules of the German Bundestag, the Committee on Research, Technology, Space and Technology Assessment 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.

All of the Bundestag's specialist committees play an important role in our parliamentary work. They submit specific topics for investigation to the TAB and discuss the reports presented at their meetings. The representatives of the parliamentary groups then debate these reports in plenary sessions.

All of the TAB's work is published and freely accessible in the form of Bundestag printed papers and/or TAB publications.

Through our reader-friendly summaries, such as our policy-brief TAB-Fokus, we aim to contribute to social dialogue on scientific and technical innovations in public authorities, companies, universities, and other research and educational institutions, as well as in everyday settings like the kitchen table and social networks.
