DESCRIPTION

FORGING explores emerging technologies (ET) and their impact on society & environment. The WS discusses opportunities and challenges of integrating a human dimension in the development of ET and how this can be fostered through Living Labs.

METHODOLOGY

70 minute workshop: Interactive and collaborative dialogue workshop: The workshop will be deployed with a problem solving method using interactive dialogue among four groups. The workshop is set up as follows:

  1. Presentation of practices carried out, lessons learnt and challenges ahead on developing the FORGING Forum
  2. Group work to solve current challenges: plenary conclusions

The interactive dialogue aims at sharing good practices & lessons learnt in identifying potential synergies to raise awareness on the FORGING project.

All the inputs provided by the experts and participants will feed and contribute directly to the project by gathering knowledge and inputs on “emerging enabling technologies” and through new and strenghtened collaborations between experts and FORGING (engaging them via the Forum).
