What is Responsible Research and - PowerPoint Presentation

Slide1

What is Responsible Research andInnovation?

The term is new, so definitions are evolving. Current debates suggest that it includes the following

The

deliberate focus of research and the products of innovation to achieve a social or environmental

benefit

.

The

consistent, ongoing involvement of society, from beginning to end of the innovation process,

including

the public & non-governmental groups, who are themselves mindful of the public good.

Assessing

and effectively

prioritising

social, ethical and environmental impacts, risks and opportunities,

both

now and in the future, alongside the technical and commercial.

Where

oversight mechanisms are better able to anticipate and manage problems and opportunities

and

which are also able to adapt and respond quickly to changing knowledge and circumstances.

Where

openness and transparency are an integral component of the research and innovation

process.Slide2

RRI Framework

RRI

means that societal actors work together during the whole research and innovation process in order to better align both the process and its outcomes, with the values, needs and expectations of European society. The Commission envisages 6 key issues in that RRI-framework:

Engagement

Unlock

the full potential of learners

Creative

Learning

Sharing

results

Doing

the right ‘thing’ and doing it right

Designing

science for and with society

Keywords

:

critical thinking, social

benefit, ethical aspects of science,

active and

engaged

citizens, stakeholders as co-designersSlide3
