Workshop: Testing the Toolkit for Responsible Protein Innovation

This workshop is the third stage in a series of 3 Design-Thinking workshops. In the first workshops, a variety of stakeholders discussed needs and barriers to RI; in the second workshop RI experts came together to explore the structure of the toolkit and which tools could be included; and in this final workshop, you can be a part of testing out the proposed toolkit, influencing final changes and helping design dissemination plans to get the kit to those who can use it. No prior participation is necessary to join this final workshop.
