Launch NWO program ‘responsible innovation’
NWO, the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research, has formulated a new grant program, titled Responsible Innovation (Maatschappelijk Verantwoord Innoveren / MVI in Dutch). The new program will finance ethical and social explorations of science and technology. Research proposals have to be interdisciplinary. Prof. Jeroen van den Hoven, scientific director of 3TU.Ethics, was chairman of the committee that has prepared the program proposal. More information can be found at www.nwo.nl/mvi. On June 5th 2008 the official launch of the MVI program will take place in The Hague. This meeting will give interested researchers the opportunity to get more information about the program and meet potential research partners.
