RMIT students from the School of Science participating in the International Science Perspectives HDR Study Tour 2018 took part in one of the first dissemination and RRI training activities of the GoNano project. The students were introduced to the concepts of design thinking and co-creation by Smoothie Innovators’ Sella Masselink before being tasked with co-creating … Continued
In this policy brief Science2Society explains and demonstrate how Open Innovation (IO) concepts has been experimented and practically applied to seven interaction mechanisms, demonstrating their empirical implementation and their sustainability. The guidelines in this document will support policy makers in their decision-making process and provide suggestions for action. “Policy-makers can help identify the segments of the innovation process that can … Continued
This consultation will take place in the Czech Republic, therefore the following text is only available in Czech. Naše společnost čelí stále rostoucímu počtu obyvatel, a tím i tlaku na produkci dostatečného množství potravin. Dalším problémem je znečištění potravin způsobené pěstitelskými a výrobními postupy (např. pesticidy) nebo znečištění potravinových obalů (např. mikročásticemi z plastů). S … Continued
This report describes how a “societal incubator” could contribute to embedding promising new technologies within society. A societal incubator is a gathering place for collective learning processes at which all parties involved get to know one another’s opinions and motives better. It involves more than just looking for public acceptance. For example, a societal incubator … Continued
Researchers have designed a rapid nano-filter that can clean dirty water over 100 times faster than current technology. Simple to make and simple to scale up, the technology harnesses naturally occurring nano-structures that grow on liquid metals. The RMIT University and the University of New South Wales (UNSW) researchers behind the innovation have shown it … Continued
