Living technology is technology whose essential character derives from its life-like properties such as self-maintenance, self-reproduction, and the capacity to evolve. The applications for technology that embodies these principles of life are many and varied, ranging from biomolecular systems to information technology. Thus, the study of living technology spans many scientific areas, including nano-bio-technologies, self-organizing systems and evolving information production technologies, as well as adaptive complex systems. Some well-known examples of living technology outcomes are the development of artificial cells and the development of the world-wide web. The new European Center for Living Technology was established in Venice, with the support of the European Union, the Ca' Foscari University and the City of Venice. Researchers will be invited to the Center to collaborate with PACE and other multidisciplinary projects involving living technology. The Center will also be proactive in fostering informed public discussion about the novel social, safety and ethical issues that are raised by developments in living technology.
