SYNENERGENE facilitates the process of the shaping of SynBio research and SynBio-derived innovation according to societal needs (Responsible Research and Innovation) in many different ways. Easy and free access to existing studies of policy issues (regulatory frameworks, public perception and expectations, ethical issues) will help the players in this field of Research and Innovation to reflect on novel and better informed policy avenues to RRI. For this purpose Andrea Lorenzet and his colleagues from the University of Padua, Italy, develop the Synthetic Biology Monitor (SBM), a web interface connected with a database.
