-Integrated Human Practices-

Science, Technology and Society in iGEM

    RRI Toolkit for iGEM team

    Our team is incorporating dimensions of responsible innovation- Anticipation, Reflexivity, Inclusion and Responsiveness into a protocol we created for us and future iGEM teams. Integrated human practice is about addressing concerns for ethics, sustainability, social justice, environmental impact, governance and intellectual property rights. We decided to use the dimensions of responsible innovation along with these different aspects to create a protocol for iGEM teams to reflect and act upon.

    FOUR DIMENSIONS OF RESPONSIBLE INNOVATION:

    - Reflexivity

    - Anticipation

    - Inclusion

    - Responsiveness


    ASPECTS:

    I. Public Engagement

    II.   Open Access

    III.  Science Education

    IV.  Governance

    V.   Ethics

            

    Embedded concerns: Sustainability, Environmental, Science and Innovation, Law and Policies, Social justice



    Our series of questions on based on the main ideas shown in figure 1 and 2, including the four dimensions- anticipation, inclusion, reflexivity and responsiveness, the idea of 3Ps, and different aspects involved in these concepts.

    Plan and Evolution

    By means of Modified RRI Toolkit for iGEM teams, we had designed a precise plan with clear goals, formally taking into consideration the impact of our project “AFLATOXOUT” on the public. Here were several key words in the plan, in order to fill in the blanks in RRI Toolkit and seek advice outside the lab. See more details on how our project was evolved because of this plan in the HP-Silver and Gold_Integrated page.

    Public Engagement : the government ( health bureau, legislators, etc.), the professional bodies( GRAS Food-grade Hetrologous Protein Production forum, Food Industry Research and Development Institute ) ,and the industries( Sinphar group, TABP INC.).

    Open Access : detailed protocol and parts registry for future iGEM teams, APP on our Github.

    Science Education : students in elementary school, high school, and college. Governance – consulting with famous star-up teams in TRANS conference and other iGEM teams in Asia-Pacific iGEM Conference.

    Governance : consulting with famous star-up teams in TRANS conference and other iGEM teams in Asia-Pacific iGEM Conference.

    Ethics : FIRDI, Good Liver Foundation.
