Kreiken, Bob (author), Asveld, L. (author)Terwijl de natuur in rap tempo verloren gaat, ontstaat tegelijkertijd een wildgroei aan data afkomstig uit de natuur. Die data worden als gemeengoed gezien waarvan iedereen, waaronder natuurbeschermers, profiteert. Er ontstaan echter nieuwe vormen van digitale uitsluiting door ongelijkheden in onderzoekscapaciteiten, databeheer en datanormen met...contribution to periodical 2023

Asveld, L. (author), Robaey, Zoë Houda (author), Francke, Sara (author), Osseweijer, P. (author)Biomass such as crops and agricultural waste is increasingly used as the primary resource for products like bioplastics and biofuels. Incorporating the needs, knowledge, skills and values of biomass producers in the design of global value chains – the steps involved in creating any finished product from design to delivery – can contribute to...journal article 2023

Kreiken, Bob (author), Asveld, L. (author)Data-centric biology is taking a great leap, thanks to developments in omics technologies and the ever expanding genomic sequencing databases which consist of so-called Digital Sequence Information (DSI). DSI is derived from the sequencing of living organisms such as microbes, plants and animals. These data in turn feed into machine learning...abstract 2023

Bouchaut, B.F.H.J. (author), de Vriend, Huib (author), Asveld, L. (author)Emerging applications of biotechnology such as new genomic techniques may give rise to new uncertainties and uncertain risks. Particularly the increased complexity and limited knowledge of possible risks associated with these new<br/>techniques, make it currently impossible to perform an adequate environmental risk assessment. As a result, there...journal article 2022

Bouchaut, B.F.H.J. (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Asveld, L. (author)The increasing societal demand for safer, biobased products, and processes<br/>creates opportunities for industrial biotechnology and chemistry. To succeed,<br/>controlled learning about new emerging risks is crucial but both fields endure<br/>difficulty in doing so by their respective regulation and risk management culture.journal article 2022

Palmeros Parada, M.D.M. (author), Kehrein, P.A. (author), Xevgenos, Dimitris (author), Asveld, L. (author), Osseweijer, P. (author)The recovery of resources, including water reuse, has been presented as a solution to overcome scarcity, and improve the economic and environmental performance of water provision and treatment. However, its implementation faces non-technical challenges, including the need to collaborate with new stakeholders and face societal acceptance...review 2022

van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author), Taebi, B. (author), van Ommen, J.R. (author), van de Poel, I.R. (author), Asveld, L. (author), Balkenende, R. (author), Hollmann, F. (author), van Kampen, E. (author), Krebbers, R.J. (author), de Lange, J. (author), Terwel, K.C. (author), Visser, Eelco (author)In this paper, we provide an overview of how Safe-by-Design is conceived and applied in practice in a large number of engineering disciplines. We discuss the differences, commonalities, and possibilities for mutual learning found in those practices and identify several ways of putting those disciplinary outlooks in perspective. The considered...journal article 2021

Bouchaut, B.F.H.J. (author), Asveld, L. (author)Genetic engineering techniques (e.g., CRISPR-Cas) have led to an increase in biotechnological developments, possibly leading to uncertain risks. The European Union aims to anticipate these by embedding the Precautionary Principle in its regulation for risk management. This principle revolves around taking preventive action in the face of...journal article 2021

Bouchaut, B.F.H.J. (author), Asveld, L. (author), Hanefeld, U. (author), Vlierboom, A.C.E. (author)Although both the Inherent Safety Principles (ISPs) and the Safe-by-Design (SbD) approach revolve around the central value of safety, they have a slightly different focus in terms of developing add-on features or considering initial design choices. This paper examines the differences between these approaches and analyses which approach is more...journal article 2021

Ampe, K.V.J. (author), Paredis, Erik (author), Asveld, L. (author), Osseweijer, P. (author), Block, Thomas (author)More pluralised understandings of incumbencies are often overlooked in transitions research, which may lead to underestimating the enabling roles of incumbents in niche projects. This study explores these roles by applying a power framework to five struggles revolving around a path-breaking decentralised wastewater treatment project in the...journal article 2021

Ampe, K.V.J. (author), Paredis, Erik (author), Asveld, L. (author), Osseweijer, P. (author), Block, Thomas (author)Environmental problems are usually not tackled with path-departing policies but rather with incrementally adjusted or unchanged policies. One way to address incremental change is the policy feedback approach, which initially focussed on self-reinforcing feedback and path-dependency. Today, self-undermining feedback is also increasingly being...journal article 2021

Sonck, M.M. (author), Asveld, L. (author), Osseweijer, P. (author)The term "responsibility" embodies many meanings, also in the context of corporate research and innovation (R&I). The approach of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) has emerged as a promoter for responsible conduct of innovation but so far lacks a systematic framework for describing, inventorying, and eventually managing different...journal article 2020

(author), Maia, Maria (author), Mantovani, Elvio (author), Nathan, Christopher (author), Porcari, Andrea (author), Yaghmaei, E. (author)There is now almost a decade of experience with RRI (Responsible Research and Innovation), including a growing emphasis on RRI in industry. Based on our experiences in the EU-funded project PRISMA, we find that the companies we engaged could be motivated to do RRI, but often only after we first shifted initial assumptions and strategies....journal article 2020

Palmeros Parada, M.D.M. (author), Asveld, L. (author), Osseweijer, P. (author), Posada Duque, J.A. (author)Biobased production has been promoted as a sustainable alternative to fossil resources. However, controversies over its impact on sustainability highlight societal concerns, value tensions and uncertainties that have not been taken into account during its development. In this work, the consideration of stakeholders’ values in a biorefinery...journal article 2020
