RRI INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

2. OPEN ACCESS – CHALLENGES FROM EUROPE TO THE
WORLD
3. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT – INTERNATIONAL VISION
4. SCIENCE EDUCATION – COMMUNICATION GOALS

|
1. HUMANITARIAN VISION

|
RRI vision of “ethics” should have international
perspective based on humanitarian values
1. Health & 2.Environment

|
1. HEALTH
ACCORDING TO WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION:
17 Neglected tropical diseases AFECTING 149 COUNTRIES
Two examples: ZIKA and CHAGAS disease

|
COLLABORATION
Between
SCIENTISTS
TRUST

|
“There is extremely low risk of
contracting Zika virus in the UK as the
mosquito that transmits the infection is
not present in the UK, however it can be
spread by sexual transmission.”
(THE GUARDIAN July 29th, 2016)

|
“Chagas disease is not considered as a
public health problem, yet. Cases of
transmission via blood donation, organ
transplantation or from mother-to-child
are reported for several European
countries”
Strasen J1, Williams T, Ertl G, Zoller T, Stich A, Ritter O. (2014) Epidemiology of Chagas disease in Europe: many
calculations, little knowledge.

CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Europe is leading internationally on RRI
2. Europe is not independent from the rest of the world -
RRI tools should have an broader vision.
3. Europe has the potential to trigger a humanitarian vision
of RRI.
4. The international approach of RRI should be based on
COLLABORATION among researchers and with citizens of
the world NOT on CHARITY.
