Projects

2022 - 2025 The IANUS project strengthens warranted trust in science, research, and innovation at a systemic level by encouraging participation in research as a co-creative and inclusive process, sensitive to societal values, concerns, and needs. Contemporary knowledge societies are facing multiple global challenges, which have become more intense by a climate of distrust and erosion of trust: in representative bodies and governmental organizations, in media and public information, but also in science. Therefore, the trustworthiness of science is a vital issue. In order to restore a trusting relationship between science and society, they must be brought closer together. However, to achieve this, it is necessary to look at both sides, considering both the scientific and the societal pole of the trust relationship. More information
2022 - 2027 PRISM-LT aims to shape the future of engineered living materials in the European Union by developing an adaptable bioprinting platform—targeting biomedical and food applications—and addressing the main issues in adopting these technologies. More information
2022 - 2025 irecs is a new Horizon Europe project tackling the ethical challenges of new technology used in research. The research ethics process is facing new challenges at a global scale. Technologies are appearing faster than their ethical considerations can be weighed. Research is globalising but ethical standards are not — running the risk that citizens of nations with the fewest safeguards will be the most burdened by unethical science. We want to train researchers to anticipate and mitigate ethical issues in technology sooner rather than later. More information
