[en] This article gives an overview of the historical institutionalization of the Flemish parliamentary Technology Assessment organization viWTA/IST, its niche in the Flemish innovation landscape, its daily practices and its future challenges. This text has been drafted on the basis of interviews with staff members (‘insiders’) of the institute, with some key stakeholders who have been in contact with viWTA/IST over the years (‘outsiders’) and through desk research and feedback discussions between both PACITA partners.
