The international, three year project, commissioned by the New Zealand Law Foundation and based at the University of Otago, researches and reports on issues emerging in science that have implications for all society. The ground-breaking project launched its second report at Parliament on 24 October. Click here for more information. For a link to the Project - Click here.
