Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Home Courses Responsible Innovation: Building Tomorrow’s Responsible Firms Course materials Readings 4.2.2 Case studies

4.2.2 Case studies

Course subject(s) Module 4. How: Safe by design

Three case studies

Now that you have seen the web lecture about Safe-by-Design and why this is so important when doing research and innovation, we would like to make it more concrete by showcasing dealing with safety in different sectors. Why is safety so important according to them? And what is the relation between safety and regulation? How do we deal with unknown risks?

    • An interview with the CEO of the PRISMA pilot company Colorobbia about safe nanomaterials for medical use.
    • Regulation is also the focal subject of the interview with the pilot Aerialtronics (drones): how can we make sure that they are used for the right purpose?
    • An interview with David Carlander about nanotechnology and how, according to him, safety is ensured via regulation.

You’ll find the three interviews in the next sections.
