Responsible research and innovation (RRI) has become an important topic in the academic community policy circles, but it not yet been systematically included process of companies. We discuss how companies can integrate RRI into their corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies business strategy. To this end, we developed a conceptual model that links company’s strategy to its context, helps translate activities result outcomes. also propose for developing company-specific key performance...
The concept of Responsible Research & Innovation (RRI) seems to gain initial momentum. lack collective meaning however, results in a plethora publications, which describe RRI from ad hoc perspectives. To provide robust foundation for scholars and practitioners seeking implement RRI, we aim integrate those perspectives through literature review. We develop practical framework synthesized earlier frameworks ideas, that can be operationalized research innovation practice help make more tangible...
ABSTRACT There is now almost a decade of experience with RRI (Responsible Research and Innovation), including growing emphasis on in industry. Based our experiences the EU-funded project PRISMA, we find that companies engaged could be motivated to do RRI, but often only after first shifted initial assumptions strategies. Accordingly, formulate six lessons learned expectation they will relevant both for industry as well future more broadly. These are: (1) Strategize stakeholder engagement;...
Media attention to genetically modified (GM) foods has been described as negative, especially in Europe. At the turn of century appreciation GM was at an all-time low Food manufacturers are still careful use, development and communication based food products, their caution influences innovation processes. In this study we explore link between media practice. three specific high-profile cases is linked We elucidate order events these show that publics could only a limited extent have formed...
Students in senior pre-university education encounter difficulties the application of mathematics into physics. This paper presents outcome an explorative qualitative study teachers’ beliefs about improving transfer algebraic skills from We interviewed 10 and physics teachers using a semi-structured questionnaire that was based on problem. Almost all acknowledged this problem considered it to be important. found continuum aspects influencing transfer, including transfer. Together with...
Responsible innovation requires, among other things, that innovators reflect on the broader socio-ethical and socio-economic context of their work. This may be done by reflecting project complexity. However, tools methods enabling relevant reflection are not abundant. In this explorative study, we investigated effect explicitly stimulating about complexity during front-end development, using Midstream Modulation (MM) in combination with a framework distinguishes technical, organizational...
While originally intended to transform research and innovation practice, the concept of responsible (RRI) has largely remained a theoretical, policy-oriented construct, thereby engendering perception that RRI indicators are very different from organizational or business indicators. As there is currently limited experience with in businesses, an attempt gain more insights into this paper focuses on exploratory assessment key performance (KPIs) nanomedicine project. Based correspondence...
This paper presents a tool that can help innovators to operationalize responsible research & innovation (RRI) in industry and offers decision support their project management. is based on an earlier method of quality assessment identify innovative success-related key performance indicators (KPIs). Based real-world data using structural equation modelling, model developed relates the KPIs one another provides with opportunity compare scores current projects database successful less...
Senior pre-university education (SPE) students experience difficulties applying mathematics to physics. This paper reports the outcome of an online explorative quantitative study teachers' belief systems about improving transfer algebraic skills from into physics, conducted among 503 and physics teachers working in SPE. We used a questionnaire with 16 beliefs transfer, asked select top 5 distribute 50 points them. agglomerative hierarchical clustering cluster qualified SPE more than 10 years...
Following societal and policy pressures for responsible innovation, innovators are more expected to consider the broader socio-ethical context of their work, importantly, integrate such considerations into daily practices. This may require involvement 'outsiders' in innovation trajectories, including e.g. governmental actors. However, methods on how functionally organize integration light have only recently started emerge. We present an approach do just that, which we first develop value...
Differences in viewpoints between science and society, like for example the HPV-vaccination debate, should be considered from a socio-technical system perspective, not solely boundary perspective lay public, medical doctors scientists. Recent developments case show how debate concerning uncertainty amongst scientists audience is mostly focussed on improvement of understanding people about why vaccination important. This thinking leads to idea that once crossed, problem solved. However, such...
Recent science policy encourages the installation of Responsible Research & Innovation (RRI) practices, which should help solve grand societal challenges and be more readily adopted by society. RRI may implemented setting up interdisciplinary innovation development teams, bringing together technical non-technical experts from various disciplines backgrounds, enabling engineers to let their work become inspired – or even partly co-shaped insights viewpoints, while actors get acquainted...
In today's society a variety of challenges need attention because they are considered to affect our well-being. Many these can be addressed with new innovations, yet may also introduce challenges. Communication innovations is vital. This importance by the concept Responsible Research and Innovation. present commentary we draw on dataset 196 research projects discuss two streams Science Innovation how complements each other. We conclude suggestions for practitioners scientists.
