- Why is it important to integrate a deeper understanding of human values into European research frameworks, and what do you see as the biggest barriers to doing so?

- To reflect and embed human values in research and innovation we must bring together a variety of disciplines and perspectives. What are some concrete, actionable ways to create environments where SSAH and STEM researchers as well as other diverse stakeholders can truly work together?

- If you could adjust one element in the current European R&I policy landscape or funding programme, what change would you make to systematically embed and increase the focus on human values and societal well-being?

- What ideas or perspectives from this conference have most inspired you or shifted your thinking?
