Members of the ASSET projects will present the results of the citizen consultation that took place in eight countries on September 2016 at the European Parliament. Such an event is part of the science-in-society approach performed by the project within the framework of Research and Innovation related to pandemic preparedness. ASSET citizen consultation is an innovative method of engaging citizens on complex issues, providing them with information before asking questions. Its results highlighted some highly important topics that project members will present ath the European Parliament, regarding:

• trust in information
• risk communication
• pregnancy and vaccination
• ethics
• citizen's voice
• lesson learned and citizen participation

Bringing citizen consultation results to the attention of public institutions and decisionmakers, ASSET aim to encourage dialogue and the development of an integrated and transdisciplinary strategy, to take place at local, regional and national levels by combining expertise in public health, vaccine and epidemiological research, social and political sciences, law and ethics, gender studies, science communication and media.
