NWO organised two panel discussions during the Digital Society Conference of the Universities of the Netherlands. On the second day (30 November), thoughts were exchanged about ‘Responsible Innovation. Designing for Public Values in a Digital World’. A two-part podcast about this event will soon be published. Follow our media channels, or let us know you are interested via mvi@nwo.nl.

The panel discussion was moderated by Prof. Marcel Broersma – University of Groningen. Marcel Broersma is professor of Media and Journalism Studies and the director of the Centre for Media and Journalism Studies of the University of Groningen. Geert Kuyper (Ministry of Defence), Dr Gert Meyers (University of Tilburg) Dr Eva Groen-Reijman (University of Amsterdam) and Cem Adiyaman (Ministry of the Interior) joined the debate as panel members. This interesting discussion, which was an interaction between science, policy and questions from students, focussed on the embedding of public values in the design of digital technologies.
