N2 - The Centre for Society and Genomics (CSG) was established in 2004, funded by NGI (the
Netherlands Genomics Initiative). Funding was continued in 2008. This report summarises the basic
outcomes of almost a decade of interactive societal research, in close collaboration with the other
centres of the NGI network.
There are two reasons for presenting these results. First of all, at the end of this year, the CSG
Next programme (2008-2013), encompassing more than 50 research projects conducted at 10
Dutch universities, will be completed. Moreover, we are currently preparing ourselves for the
years to come. The network of principal investigators, together with the research communities
they represent and the societal and international networks they are involved in, have agreed to
continue to work together, on the basis of mutual learning, transdisciplinary collaboration and
collegial support. Notably, we offer our networks, experiences and expertise to help prepare the
ground for promoting Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) in the context of Horizon2020,
together with our European colleagues.
This report summarises what our type of research can achieve and how we want to continue our
activities in the future. After a concise sketch of the life sciences landscape as it has evolved
during the past seven decades or so, we explain how CSG came about and what kind of approach
we have developed. Subsequently, we list our main results, notably in the form of project vignettes,
so as to make the harvest of the CSG Next programme as tangible and concrete as possible. Finally,
we explain how we see our role in the future.
As is already indicated by the title: this is not merely a retrospective summary of our results
(CSG harvest), but an invitation to readers (from academia, industry, policy and civil society) to
reassemble and to optimally prepare ourselves for things to come, by strengthening and broadening
our collaborative efforts, building on what we have achieved so far.
