Revision as of 12:56, 2 October 2016
We collaborated with the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) about safety in synthetic biology. In particular we discussed safe by design.The concept of safe by design is to make sure the health and safety risks of the product are addressed from the beginning of the design process. This way, risks can be prevented instead of considering safety measures afterwards. Especially in synthetic biology, safe by design is very important, because genetic modification could have irreversible effects. More information about safe by design can be found on our Project Safety page
We conducted a stakeholder identification on GMO policy in the Netherlands and determined whether safe by design is already applied in the Netherlands.

Based on this stakeholder identification a short animation was made in which GMO policy, safe by design and the link between those two is explained. This animation can be found below
