SATORI project
The SATORI (Stakeholders Acting Together On the ethical impact assessment of Research and Innovation, www.satoriproject.eu) research project, funded by the European Commission, developed a framework for common basic ethical principles and joint approaches and practices with the objective to harmonize and improve ethics assessment practices of research and innovation. Some of the SATORI project reports have been further developed into a CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) on Ethics assessment for research and innovation. The draft CEN CWA has two parts:
- CWA SATORI – Ethics assessment for research and innovation – Part 1 Ethics assessment unit; and
- CWA SATORI – Ethics assessment for research and innovation – Part 2 Ethical impact assessment framework.
