SYNENERGENE is a citizen dialogue and stakeholder networking project on synthetic biology (SynBio) with 25+ partners, involving stakeholders from science, industry, civil society, policy, art and other areas. It supports a wide variety of mobilisation and mutual learning processes at an early stage of SynBio’s development.

Christopher Coenen, who works at the Institute for Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis (ITAS) within Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany, leads the project. He explains the rationale behind SYNENERGENE, its aims and the range of planned activities.
