About
The Science and Technology Innovation Program (STIP) Prediction Marketplace will focus on the pressing S&T issues of our time. This marketplace will be used to aggregate disparate knowledge of a wide range of topics. Feel free to invite your colleagues.
The mission of the Science and Technology Innovation Program (STIP) is to explore the scientific and technological frontier, stimulating discovery and bringing new tools to bear on public policy challenges that emerge as science advances. We work across a range of issues from strategic planning to risk management, technology assessment to regulatory reinvention, both domestically and internationally.
Project areas include: nanotechnology, synthetic biology, serious games, participatory technology assessment, transformative social networking, and geo-engineering.
