The EPINET final conference
The EPINET final conference was held on 28-29 April 2015.
Hovedinnhold
It brought together researchers, innovators, policy makers, ELSi scholars and other stakeholders who represent the epistemic networks associated with smart grids, wearable sensors, in-vitro meat, autonomous robots and data protection.
The conference reported on the project's case studies and accommodated feedback, discussion and debate, addressing the impacts and implications of recent trends. It also dedicated considerable time to discuss and debate Responsible Innovation as a policy programme within Horizon 2020—a yardstick for innovators and evaluators to measure their commitments and standards.
It took place in Le Bouche à Oreille, Rue Félix Hap 11, 1040 Bruxelles.
