CPN attended the gathering, initiating the four-year Project SATORI aiming to develop a common European framework for ethical assessment of research and innovation, in Amsterdam

CPN attended the first EU FP7 project meeting in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on January 15-16, that officially launched the project. SATORI is a newly launched EU-funded project, and CPN is one of the members of the consortium.
SATORI aims to develop a common European framework for ethical assessment of research and innovation (R&I). R&I play an increasingly central role in the global economy and ethical assessment is a key institutional tool to ensure that R&I follow responsible pathways.
Based on 45 months of thorough analyses and participatory processes engaging stakeholders and the public, the SATORI research consortium aims to consolidate and promulgate European practices of ethical assessment that can serve as an inspiration for other global powers.
”The aim of this project is to, for the first time, develop a European framework for the ethical assessment of scientific research and technological innovation. Right now the situation is that ethical assessment of research and innovation is increasingly important because there are major societal consequences with research and innovation, whether it’s for human rights, or for the environment, or for justice, wellbeing or privacy”, explains Philip Brey, professor at the University of Twente in The Netherlands and project coordinator of SATORI.
SATORI stands for: “Stakeholders Acting Together On the ethical impact assessment of Research and Innovation”.
