Funding opportunities for NWO-MVI research in 2018 and 2019
In the forthcoming period the possibilities for Responsible Innovation (MVI) research mainly lie within specific research programmes/initiatives within the top sectors. The underlying reasons for this are that the importance of MVI is increasingly recognised and there is a growing demand to link responsible innovation research to NWO research programmes/initiatives. MVI will be linked to these initiatives from the outset, if possible as soon as the research agenda is drawn up. In view of the interdisciplinary collaboration (between humanities, natural sciences and social sciences researchers) matchmaking events will be organised. Via the MVI newsletter and the MVI webportal (www.nwo-mvi.nl) more information will be released when a call is published or a relevant meeting is scheduled to take place.

Including ethics in economic policy decisions
How can you include citizens’ ethical considerations in real-world economic policy analysis? In the MVI-project Participatory Value Evaluation: a new assessment model for promoting social acceptance of sustainable energy policies, researchers from Delft University of Technology and VU Amsterdam further develop a new assessment tool that does exactly that. The research combines insights from Economics, Philosophy, Political Science, Environment and Natural Resources.

Getting a grip on gas discussions - interview with Goda Perlaviciute
De rol van gas in een duurzame energietransitie staat ter discussie. NWO Maatschappelijk Innoveren onderzoeker Goda Perlaviciute legt uit hoe ze samenwerkt met private partners aan dit soort controversiële onderwerpen, en hoe ze daarbij haar objectieve positie als wetenschapper behoudt. Gaswinning in Nederland en de aardbevingen die daar het gevolg van zijn in Groningen, de risico’s en voordelen van schaliegas, voordelen en nadelen van biogas: gas is constant onderwerp van publiek debat. ‘Gas wordt vaak gepresenteerd als een relatief schone of groene energiebron, bijvoorbeeld door de gasindustrie. Maar sommige mensen vinden deze voorstelling van zaken misleidend of zelfs onwaar.
