    I hereby consent that Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e.V., Hansastraße 27c, 80686 München, Germany and the other project partners of the FRANCIS consortium may use my data for the scientific research purposes of the FRANCIS project, i.e. the development of frugal innovations by citizens.

The recording will be deleted after the transcription.

  • I accept the publication of statements with my real name upon giving consent 
    I agree that my statements from interactions may be shared among the project partners and may also be published with my real name. Compromising statements will be removed before the publication. I will be informed about the planned publication (if any) beforehand and will receive a summary of my statements with the possibility to request changes or decline publication.
