On December 7th, 2022 the EU-funded project ResBios organised its final conference "Responsibility in research & innovation. Challenges for the biosciences and future policies" in Brussels (hybrid event). Eleni Spyrakou (National Technical University of Athens) presented HYBRIDA's work and progress in Session 2 - "Towards a new "social contract" between R& and society" and had the opportunity to exchange fruitful ideas focusing on how to create a social space to put or foster the “responsibility” within the current trends in science and innovation, taking also into account the proposals of the ResBios Manifesto.
