■Outline
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development has for three decades been an influential source of international science and technology policy. The OECD has generated foundational concepts such as the “national innovation system” and the the “innovation policy mix”, helped create institutions to better coordinate science and innovation activities across countries, and generated international standards in areas such as open science, genetic licensing, and biobanks. Policy work on key emerging technologies has been one focus of OECD work in this vein, especially under the Working Party on Bio-, Nano-, and Coverging Technology (BNCT). Led by the leader of the BNCT Working Party, this seminar will describe the current work programme, future directions, and intellectual developments. Current technology topics include neurotechnology, gene editing, the bioeconomy, and industry 4.0. Current cross-cutting topics include ethics and “responsible innovation,” commercialisation, open science, and co-creation.
