Pilots: How Can We Innovate Responsibly?

PRISMA > Pilot Projects

The goal of the PRISMA-project was to draw specific lessons about how RRI can be implemented in industry, ranging from small enterprises to large corporations to consortia with universities.

To this end, the project included cooperation with 8 different companies in the field of automated cars, internet technology, drones, biotechnology, synthetic biology, and nanotechnology. We will highlight the results for each of the pilots:

Key information about the company
The focus of the pilots
Results: interview with management and key recommendations
Link to detailed reports: implementation of the pilot and the design of the roadmap.

Responses of Companies to the Pilots

I think the main lesson that we have learned from the pilot is you can’t innovate in a vacuum. We have tried to do it for some time but you need others. You get the best results when you involve others.
Timothy van Langeveld, head legal council & regulatory affairs of Aerialtronics
With PRISMA we learned the importance of focusing on the ethical and social impacts of NanoMed since the early phases of the development, to become responsive and trustworthy toward needs and requests from users and society. This experience has convinced us of the strategic value of RRI for NanoMed and our organization.
Giovanni Baldi , Director, Ce.Ri.Col – Colorobbia Consulting Research Centre
This program really allowed us to join a community of academic, government industry and friends who are all committed to RRI.
Stephan Herrera, VP Evolva
As part of our project work that we’ve done with the PRISMA project, we’ve been audited effectively against certain criteria that were generated from the PRISMA project, to see how responsible our innovation is at RDM
Simon Brewerton, CTO of RDM
