(W3) Responsible Innovation and Responsible Research and Innovation - Owen & Pansera

Pag 35-48

RRI is born the European Commission, differently from RI

responsible research and innovation (rri)

Responsible Research and Innovation is a transparent, interactive process by which societal actors and innovators become mutually responsive to each other with a view to the (ethical) acceptability, sustainability and societal desirability of the innovation process and its marketable products (in order to allow a proper embedding of scientific and technological advances in our society).

(Von Schomberg, 2012, p. 50)

The European Commission RRI is divided in 5 keys:

Public engagement (connected to RI Inclusion)
Open access/Open science (aligned with RI openess)
Gender (RI doesn't have gender, but has Inclusion)
Science education: making science more attractive to young people (RI focuses on multidisciplinary approach)
Ethics: Applying established ethical principles. (RI advocates Reflexivity on ethical issues)

In practice, RRI from EC appears to be more a set of themes.
