Responsible Research and Innovation

Responsible Research and Innovation

In MycoSynVac we aim to carry out the research and technical development in a responsible manner, following the concept of RRI (Responsible Research and Innovation). To do so we have two partner institutions on board who focus particularly on potential bioethical issues, organize a series of focus groups and Science Cafes with members of the public, hold interviews with relevant stakeholders, produce adequate science communication material (short documentary film, a science game, high school teaching package etc) and prepare material for later risk assessment of the intended products. The feedback we got from our numerous public dialogue events have been presented and discussed within the project consortium to raise awareness within the scientific community about how MycoSynvac is seen by citizens and consumers.
