C-PET'S CORE VALUES
Inclusive: an approach that is intended to clarify areas of disagreement as well as, where possible, to discern common policy approaches.
Multidisciplinary: engagement with scientists, the policy community, business, and civil society networks.
Collaborative: partnerships with other institutions, both in Washington and elsewhere.
Public: particular attention given to working with media, especially science and political writers, to develop their understanding of the key issues.
Ethical: ethical underpinnings to technology policy are vital.
Democratic: recognition that emerging technology policy must be democratically accountable.
International: global perspective.
"Americans have always defined themselves in terms of the future. It is therefore astonishing that there is no policy institute on emerging technologies in the nation's capital, one that cuts across philosophical lines. C-PET addresses that absence in our national conversation."
—JONATHAN MORENO
