*[http://www.debatpublic.fr La Commission Nationale du Débat Public (CNDP), France].

Créée en 1995 par la loi « Barnier » sur la protection de l’environnement, la CNDP est chargée de
veiller au respect de la participation du public au processus d'élaboration des projets
d'aménagement ou d'équipement d'intérêt national, dès lors qu'ils présentent de forts enjeux
socio-économiques ou ont des impacts significatifs sur l'environnement ou l'aménagement du
territoire.
La CNDP représente une forme institutionnelle de la participation de la société puisqu’elle est
légitimée par une loi, ce qui lui donne un pouvoir conséquent. Elle fournit donc de nombreux
exemples sur les méthodes de participation du public et les résultats qui en ressortent. Elle a
conduit notamment le récent débat public sur les déchets nucléaires. A titre d’exemple de
participations du public, on peut citer également le débat sur le renforcement des échanges
électriques entre la France et l’Espagne, le contournement autoroutier de Bordeaux, ou encore la
ligne de TGV entre Poitiers et Limoges. La méthode de participation de la CNDP et les nombreux
exemples d’applications sont exposés sur le site.

The Royal Society is the UK's national academy of science. It is an independent, charitable body
which derives its authoritative status from its 1400 Fellows and Foreign Members.
The RS Science in Society Programme was set up in 2000. The programme embodies a core
value of the Society - that of furthering the role of responsible and responsive science, engineering
and technology in society. It has sought to do this through engendering informed debate on
science and working with the science community to embed the principles of dialogue and highlight
the mechanisms of public policy development.
Among the activities of the programme:
- Dialogue comprises an annual series of regional workshops and a National Forum to discuss
social issues surrounding science or technological development.
- The [http://www.royalsoc.ac.uk/downloaddoc.asp?id=2637 Scientist Pairing Scheme] was established in 2001 and aims to build bridges between
some of the best research workers in the country and members of the UK parliament. To date over
80 scientists and MPs have taken part. The scheme comprises three activities: a briefing by the
Royal Society, a Week in Westminster, and reciprocal visits to the constituency office and the
laboratory.

The Danish Board of Technology‘s mission is to promote the technology debate and public
enlightenment concerning the potential, and consequences of technology. The Board considers it an
essential task to contribute to the development of methods for assessing technology, especially in
connection with methods involving the population at large - citizens, users and employees -
affected by the technology in question.
According to its legislative mandate, the Board of Technology's task is to:
• Organise independent technology assessments.
• Carry out all-round assessments of the potentials and consequences of technology.
• Initiate activities relating to public enlightenment education and communication.
• Advise the Danish Parliament and Government.
Prior to setting out on a particular project, the subject is evaluated according to certain
parameters:
- Does the subject possess a technological content?
- Is the subject essential to a large number of people - democratically, economically or
environmentally?
- Does the subject cause problems? Or conflicts? Is there a need for decision-making?
The subject must be of current interest to the politicians and the citizens.
The projects are always based on a participative method. For example, every year, the Danish
Board of Technology calls upon members of Parliament, various authorities, organizations, business
enterprises and individuals to come up with suggestions for topics for the coming year’s efforts.
