The B2-InF consortium is currently working towards validating with the participants the data collected from interviews carried out in the past year about society’s perception on Assisted Reproduction Technologies, aiming to involve citizens in the project. After the first consortium meeting that took place in November, the B2-inf team agreed that the first validation workshop (WS1), scheduled for February should be held online due to the current situation of the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe. Therefore, the whole process will consist in 8 online validation workshops -one for each selected representative country (Spain, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, Albania, Macedonia and Slovenia)- that will be moderated by two B2-inf researchers that speak the native language of the participants. One of them will be conducting the interview, engaging with the participant, while the other will be acting as an observer, taking note of everything been said neutrally and in the local language. The final notes, including the complete transcripts of all that will be said, will be returned to APLICA, who is responsible for including the participant's opinion on the final reports about the analysis carried out. During this phase, information will be processed and elaborated, allowing the project to step into the pursuit of its ultimate goal: building standard guidelines for the Assisted Reproduction Technologies including the voice of society.
