ETHICS ASSESSMENT IN RESEARCH & INNOVATION: POLICY ENCOUNTERS

Workshop

SATORI hosted a policy workshop in Brussels on 23 May 2017 to discuss: ethics assessment policy recommendations and means to foster their sustainability; how policy decisions can nurture or restrict ethics in research and innovation; and views on how policymakers can further support and optimise ethics in research and innovation (R&I).

Based on its findings and results, SATORI envisages various roles for policymakers in supporting ethical R&I e.g.:

  • Increasing stakeholder participation and public debate about ethics assessment in R&I;
  • Incentivising responsible research and innovation (RRI) at the SME level;
  • Monitoring whether ethics assessment in R&I is achieving its objectives and take corrective measures;
  • Supporting existing ethics committees in the exercise of their tasks and setting up ethics committees with defined roles and responsibilities (in sectors where these are missing);
  • Promoting the use and implementation of the SATORI ethics assessment framework at the EU and Member State levels;
  • Supporting future research and the development of the SATORI ethics assessment framework.
