The governance of emerging science and innovation is a major challenge for contemporary democracies. In this paper we present framework understanding supporting efforts aimed at 'responsible innovation'. was developed in part through work with one the first research projects controversial area geoengineering, funded by UK Research Councils. We describe case study, how became location to articulate explore four integrated dimensions responsible innovation: anticipation, reflexivity, inclusion...
The term responsible (research and) innovation has gained increasing EU policy relevance in the last two years, particular within European Commission's Science Society programme, context of Horizon 2020 Strategy. We provide a brief historical overview concept, and identify three distinct features that are emerging from associated discourses. first is an emphasis on democratic governance purposes research their orientation towards 'right impacts'. second responsiveness, emphasising...
We reflect on a decade of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) as discourse emerging from the European Commission (EC) 10 years ago. discuss foundations for RRI, its emergence during Seventh Framework programme subsequent evolution Horizon 2020. how an original vision RRI became framed around five so-called 'keys': gender, open access, science communication, ethics public engagement. consider prospects within context EC's Open Science agenda Europe programme, before closing with some...
In March 2014 a group of early career researchers and academics from São Paulo state the UK met at University Campinas to participate in workshop on 'Responsible Innovation Governance Socially Controversial Technologies'. this Perspective we describe key reflections observations discussions, paying particular attention discourse responsible innovation cross-cultural perspective. We number important tensions, paradoxes opportunities that emerged over three days workshop.
In this paper we argue that recent policy treatments of solar radiation management (SRM) have insufficiently addressed its potential implications for contemporary political systems. Exploring the emerging ‘social constitution’ SRM, outline four reasons why is likely to pose immense challenges liberal democratic politics: That unequal distribution and uncertainties about SRM impacts will cause conflicts within existing institutions; act at planetary level necessitate autocratic governance;...
Significant time lags between the development of novel innovations (e.g., nanotechnologies), understanding their wider impacts, and subsequent governance regulation) have led to repeated calls for more anticipatory adaptive approaches that promote responsible emergence new technologies in democratic societies. A key challenge is implementation a pragmatic way. Results are presented study with Engineering Physical Sciences Research Council, largest public funder basic innovation research...
In contemporary culture, the image of technology as a passive tool to serve us and satisfy our desires is increasingly revealed illusory. Technology world-shaping force, force that als...
In October 2013, the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (ESPRC) made a formal policy commitment to framework for responsible innovation. I describe development of this over four-year period since 2009 key inputs which shaped its evolution framing. conclude with some thoughts about future directions, as EPSRC itself transitions from understanding what RI means, how it could be meaningfully implemented.
