Stakeholders


To obtain more insight in the feasibility of our idea, we talked to many experts within different fields. Among the people we approached are doctors, researchers, students, but also people working in non-academic fields such as at ministeries and professional advisors. Each of them was invited to give their perspectives on our work. We also wondered if they could see the benefits of our device within our application scenarios and if they had any other suggestions for usage. Moreover, we gave them space to criticize our idea, and thereby advise us about aspects of our design that could be perfected. With their involvement, we could further develop our ideas. A short overview of each talk is given below.

General

  • RIVM & Rathenau

    RIVM is the national institute involved in regulation of safety and environment. The Rathenau Institute is involved in the consideration of technological advancements and their role in society. Both institutes regularly experience the clash that occurs when technological novelties are presented to a poorly informed public. To promote dialogue between society and technological researches the RIVM and Rathenau Institute together organized a symposium about synthetic biology and its role in society.
    The iGEM-teams of the Netherlands had an active role in the organization of the symposium and were given an opportunity to present their projects to a diverse audience (consisting of amongst others employees of the RIVM and Rathenau and ministries). The presentation was followed by a discussion about societal problems that play a role when considering synthetic biology. Read more on this event here:
    We our project to policymakers attending the SynBio convention and held a discussion afterwards.
