Register for Synenergene event - public engagement with synthetic biology

Join SYNENERGENE project at a two-day Forum event on 24-25 June 2016 in the Amsterdam Science Centre NEMO to find out about our RRI experiences and achievements with relevant stakeholders and publics, including scientists, civil society organizations, industry and policy makers, and discuss the development of a synthetic biology agenda for the (near) future, focusing on:

  • Opportunities of synthetic biology relating to societal challenges
  • Concerns about synthetic biology relating to possible negative implications
  • Engagement with synthetic biology as a contribution to responsible research and innovation

The first day is a conference with plenary and parallel sessions focusing on core issues and activities addressed by SYNENERGENE. During the second day, SYNENERGENE partners will put “synthetic biology on stage” through debates, theatrical performances, and a BIO.FICTION film festival.

Check out the full programme and register here.

Project

SYNENERGENE

This project engaged stakeholders and the public in an open dialogue concerning synthetic biology’s potential benefits and risks and explored possibilities for its “collaborative shaping” on the basis of public participation. Ecsite brought together stakeholders to share expertise, learn from each other and develop a common understanding of crucial aspects of synthetic biology, later used to create and deliver public engagement activities.
