Utrecht Science Week: Panel discussion - When does research become waste?

Research drives the advancement of knowledge and health, but did you know that an estimated 85% of biomedical research was pointless in 2009? (Bio)medical research also accounts for 2% of global plastic waste, and research priorities do not always match stakeholders' needs.

In this panel discussion, the CO₂ assistant, together with you and various experts, will discuss how to balance the societal values, scientific values and ecological impact of (bio)medical research. When is research useful for society? And is there research that really should no longer be carried out? Discover the answers to these questions and help think about the future of (bio)medical research
