RESPONSIBLE RESEARCH
Positive outcomes are important, but so is the journey.
Empowering responsible stakeholders and finding sustainable answers to big challenges are the end goals, but ensuring the processes that get you there are genuinely inclusive and transparent are equally critical. We are always striving to make a difference, and invite you to learn more and lend your support.
EDUCATION & PUBLIC AWARENESS
HORIZON is a Science engagement organisation with a mission to contribute to education and sensitizing public opinion on a variety of research & innovation-related issues.
Like science itself, RRI isn’t about a specific process or tool – it’s a framework for thinking in a way that anticipates the consequences of research and innovation, brings issues into the open, and involves society in discussing how science and technology can help create a better world for future generations.
