The project aims to strengthen public inquiry as a policy tool in governance transitions about controversial science and technology. The adequacy of public inquiry in Australia as an authoritative ‘advisory mechanism’ on the promising benefits and (socio-) environmental effects of ‘big’ science and technology is a growing public policy problem. The project will review whether the public inquiry is too decoupled from governance and environmental change. Through transdisciplinary participatory conduits, a deeper inquiry capacity is expected to address important national challenges of sustainability, economic and social prosperity, energy security, climate change and international competitiveness.

该项目旨在加强公众调查，将其作为关于有争议的科学和技术的治理过渡的政策工具。在澳大利亚，公众调查作为一种权威性的“咨询机制”，对“大”科学技术的好处和（社会）环境影响的充分性是一个日益严重的公共政策问题。该项目将审查公众调查是否与治理和环境变化过于脱钩。通过跨学科的参与渠道，更深入的调查能力有望应对可持续性、经济和社会繁荣、能源安全、气候变化和国际竞争力等重要的国家挑战。
