July 2024 ELSI Friday Forum: Assessing and Reimagining the Role of ELSI in Creating Transformative Science

How can ELSI center justice in science to promote to transformative outcomes? Since its inception, ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) research has been pivotal in centering ethical considerations in the development of emerging science and technologies. The ELSI landscape continues to grow alongside technological and scientific developments; however there is little known on how the integration of ELSI expertise and knowledge impacts the trajectory of scientific inquiry and outcomes? In this ELSI Friday Forum, our panelists discussed models of ELSI integration and the potential for transformative science. In addition to measuring the impact, this session discussed assumptions, structures, and relationships that influence how ELSI research is conducted. Our panelists brought their perspectives from in and out of the US and their experience as funders and researchers. Watch this ELSI Friday Forum, as our experts engaged in a conversation about the future of ELSI.
