The Global One Health Academy, Genetics & Genomics Academy, and Genetic Engineering & Society Center are co-hosting a workshop on Weaving Research & Society. This event will provide training on societal engagement in science. Attendees will be introduced to the why of societal engagement, the trajectory of societal engagement (science co-production), and the next phases of societal engagement (deliberative science). A case study will allow attendees to explore in small groups how to frame research problems and explore the FAIR and CARE principles of responsible and inclusive research.
