    Technology Assessment (TA) analyses and evaluates the consequences of new technologies, materiales or activities on other systems, be it other technologies, the environment, human health, economical entities or political relationships. Most of all these subsystems form a complex meshwork of intertwined factors. Therefore, TA rarely is a simple untertaking, in most cases in very need of inter-, often transdisciplinary expertise and therefore especially dependant on communicative and participatory skills. Analysing the implementation of new technologies in the context of future development and probability TA employs a wealth of methods to evaluate risks and chances (i.e. possible loss or possible benefit) of technologies and their applications in a quantative and/or qualitative manner. In the case of new and innovative technologies standard risk assessment methods are only to a certain degree applicable for obvious reasons. Therefore, TA has to extend its methodological focus to better handle questions of uncertainty regarding new technologies and to contribute in the early stages of technical innovation reliable knowledge on possible unintended and adverse consequences of the new technologies. In case of the debate on the safe and responsible development of nanomaterials the Austrian risk governance approach opted for an open and utmost inclusive public debate.
