    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

    The role of gas in a sustainable energy transition is controversial. MVI researcher Goda Perlaviciute explains how she works together with private partners on controversial topics like these, and maintains an objective position as a researcher. Extraction of natural gas in the Netherlands and the earthquakes it induces in Groningen, risks and benefits of shale gas, advantages and disadvantages of biogas: gas is under constant public debate. ‘Gas is often presented as a relatively clean or green energy source, for example by the gas industry. Yet, some see this representation as misleading or even untruthful. Clearly, perceptions of gas are diverse and sometimes even conflicting’, says environmental psychologist Goda Perlaviciute from the University of Groningen.

    The MVI practice: Anticipating the future

    Responsible innovation (MVI, from the Dutch Maatschappelijk verantwoord innoveren) means taking ethical and societal aspects into account as early as the design phase of a new technology. Paulien Herder, professor at Delft University of Technology, explains what the NWO-MVI approach means in practise.
