In technology development projects, a process-accompanying investigation of ethical, legal and social issues should take place, according to the basic idea of the BMBF's Integrated Research funding concept. To this end, representatives from disciplines such as ethics, law and social science as well as practical partners and citizens should be involved in innovation processes. Within the framework of the project ESTER of the Cluster Integrated Research, it will be investigated which ethical and social questions this research mode entails. Proposals will be developed on how these aspects can be included in the further development of the concept of "integrated research".
