Policy arena refers to governance of new applications science and technology, and arena effect is a concept for describing different approaches that this governance can take. The arena can be divided into four different areas according to two different dimensions: 1) actor induced: placid arenas or polarised arenas; 2) institutional: hierarchical arenas of participatory arenas. This typology has been developed by Mikko Rask. [1]

The arena effect relates to the ida of different knowledge production modes introduced by Gibbons et al, 2000. Mode 1 is the traditional knowledge production context, while mode 2 is institutionally distributed, produced in a context of application, problem-driven, and transdisciplinary.
