• To continue facilitation of capacity and awareness building on ethical and societal aspects of the EADGENE activities within the Network
• To set up contacts with external stakeholders on perception of EADGENE issues
• To develop remaining strategy and advice on ethical issues for the Network

WP Achievements:

• In an Ethical Workshop a group of Network participants dicussed EADGENE related ethical and societal issues based on the use of a newly developed ethical deliberation tool (modified ethical matrix), as a result of this a set of EADGENE specific internal research guidelines have been developed.
