D1.3 Ethical and social impacts-driven horizon scanning of new and emerging technologies Reflections and proposals on models and practices

This report provides a critical review of horizon scan studies on future technological developments performed by research institutions, businesses, and policy organisations at transnational (EU) and international levels. This served different purposes: 1) Find common practices and learn from the pros and the cons that horizon scanning can bring 2) Develop a model to carry out a horizon scan informed by potential social and ethical impacts (the TechEthos approach) 3) Distil a reasoned list of high socio-economic impact technology families, ordering and clustering hundreds of future technologies spotted by these studies.
