Executive summary: A workshop using the Delphi-Hall Loop framework explored ways to advance synthetic biology, generating ideas for research and testing a new collective decision-making process.
Key points:
The Delphi-Hall Loop framework guides collective sensemaking through defining objectives, identifying bottlenecks, proposing interventions, and forecasting impacts.
Workshop participants focused on advancing subfields like biologics, crop yields, plant-based proteins, and biomaterials.
The process involved generating ideas and then selecting the most promising ones for each phase.
Forecasting was used to estimate the potential impact of proposed interventions.
Lessons learned include the importance of participant expertise, allowing for networking, and refining forecasting questions.
The Astera Institute used insights from the workshop to inform research fellowship funding decisions.
