Working Together to Make The Next Genre of Innovations More Responsible

Our research is structured in a series of projects and research themes. These projects are the root structure of the Lab’s community, reaching out to brilliant students, researchers and practitioners and connecting them and their ideas to the challenges of making responsible innovation. The themes ranges from responsible bio-innovation to responsible planning and responsible AI.
