Using a values-driven, collaborative leadership model, the team co-created tools grounded in authenticity and accountability, establishing an actionable framework. These resources should effectively address research security, fostering a resilient, effective research culture. Through a user-informed methodology and inclusive collaboration, the project team translated principles into tangible tools reinforcing ethical conduct in daily practice. This approach ensures robust protections without stifling crucial innovation. The CORRIE project offers notable societal value, bolstering research credibility and trustworthiness. It advances equity by providing shared standards for all researchers, clearly demonstrating that integrity, ethics, and security are interconnected and mutually reinforcing.

Myoelectric prostheses, controlled by voluntary muscle contractions, can restore some functionality; however, they are costly, complex, and inaccessible, particularly for children who require frequent updates as they grow. In order to address these limitations, the \"Superheroes Project\" was developed at University of Oviedo. This interdisciplinary initiative engages students from engineering and healthcare disciplines in the design and fabrication of low-cost prostheses with 3D printing technology. The project guarantees that each prosthesis is tailored to the specific requirements of the individual, with a focus on comfort, adaptability, and user-friendliness. Digital modelling of the residual limbs is performed for the prostheses design, which are then manufactured with additive technologies of lightweight and flexible materials. 13 individuals from Spain and Cambodia have been benefited from the project, with devices tailored for several activities ranging from daily tasks to sports. In addition to the physical benefits, the project also promotes social inclusion and transforms student participants by enhancing their technical and interpersonal skills. The Superheroes Project demonstrates that affordable customized prostheses can improve the quality of life of patients, while fostering a deep connection between education and community service.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101167,"journal":{"name":"Societal Impacts","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144723602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The manuscript presents the results of the application of social life cycle assessment on the actions of the LIFE REWEEE project, an EU funded project, which aimed at enhancing the concept of reuse through different actions, including the operation of two sorting and preparing for reuse centres, the development of a web-based exchange platform for used electrical and electronic equipment, and the coordination of repair workshops. The results indicate that the operation of electrical and electronic equipment sorting and repair centres in the context of a developed economy creates positive social impacts in terms of job creation and job satisfaction. Additionally, the coordination of repair workshops fosters socialisation and human interaction among local community members, while online platform donations and exchanges further the trend of society shifting towards sharing goods.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101167,"journal":{"name":"Societal Impacts","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100132"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144696663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within the project, ten years of law cases on residents’ dismissal from training programs in medical specialties were reviewed. The findings provided opportunities for improving the quality of residents’ assessment, remediation, and dismissal procedures. Case examples of dismissal procedures demonstrated the potential of 'learning from law cases', whether these cases were typical or exceptional. Unexpected and unfavourable outcomes after (re)mediation in PGME provided additional examples to learn from, and contributed to the continuous professional education of clinical supervisors and hospital education staff. The project’s primary outcome is that it explicates the often implicit expectations about the functioning of future medical specialists and, secondarily, that it creates awareness about changes required to improve the quality and inclusivity of PGME. Apart from its relevance for PGME, the increased awareness on these topics may ultimately benefit society because residents as highly educated healthcare professionals are future role models within a hospital’s hierarchy. Such societal impact is generated by multi-stakeholder collaboration in workshops and publications, enhancing critical reflection on the quality of and safety culture in PGME.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101167,"journal":{"name":"Societal Impacts","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144703183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
