This report presents the Inclusion Plan of the SAEGE project, which sets out its strategy for ensuring diversity and inclusiveness in stakeholder engagement, expert groups, public representation, and evidence-gathering. The inclusion plan has three elements. First, it explains the importance of inclusive policy advice and hence, why SAEGE will seek to access the lived experiences and expertise of relevant stakeholders. Second, it outlines how the aim to ensure inclusivity in SAEGE outputs will be operationalised within short timescales. Third, it explains how and why SAEGE will make use of an Ethical Matrix to ensure consistency and in-depth scrutiny of the most ethically relevant aspects of each topic under consideration. Additionally, a range of important practical questions are addressed. What are the visions for inclusive policy making and policy advice? Whose lived experiences are likely to be needed to inform the work of the European Group of Ethics (EGE)? What are the challenges for inclusive policy advice? Which questions need to be asked during evidence-gathering? And at a more conceptual level, which moral values would form a convincing and stable Ethical Matrix? First answers are found in this report.
