Download or read book Responsible Innovation written by Richard Owen and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-21 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science and innovation have the power to transform our lives and the world we live in - for better or worse – in ways that often transcend borders and generations: from the innovation of complex financial products that played such an important role in the recent financial crisis to current proposals to intentionally engineer our Earth’s climate. The promise of science and innovation brings with it ethical dilemmas and impacts which are often uncertain and unpredictable: it is often only once these have emerged that we feel able to control them. How do we undertake science and innovation responsibly under such conditions, towards not only socially acceptable, but socially desirable goals and in a way that is democratic, equitable and sustainable? Responsible innovation challenges us all to think about our responsibilities for the future, as scientists, innovators and citizens, and to act upon these. This book begins with a description of the current landscape of innovation and in subsequent chapters offers perspectives on the emerging concept of responsible innovation and its historical foundations, including key elements of a responsible innovation approach and examples of practical implementation. Written in a constructive and accessible way, Responsible Innovation includes chapters on: Innovation and its management in the 21st century A vision and framework for responsible innovation Concepts of future-oriented responsibility as an underpinning philosophy Values – sensitive design Key themes of anticipation, reflection, deliberation and responsiveness Multi – level governance and regulation Perspectives on responsible innovation in finance, ICT, geoengineering and nanotechnology Essentially multidisciplinary in nature, this landmark text combines research from the fields of science and technology studies, philosophy, innovation governance, business studies and beyond to address the question, “How do we ensure the responsible emergence of science and innovation in society?”

Download or read book The Making of Responsible Innovation written by Phil Macnaghten and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science and technological innovation wield unfathomable power in the shaping of social life and the environment. Yet, the democratic control and shaping of technology remains at best an unfinished project, not least due to dominant paradigms of governance implicitly that have historically delegated the good to market forces. This Element explores responsible innovation as an emergent discourse in governing science and society relations. Specifically, it explores the making of responsible innovation through three lenses: first, as a way of reconfiguring the concept of responsibility in science governance with far-reaching implications for scientific culture and practice; second, as a way of injecting agency through deliberative methods aimed at anticipating and deliberating upon the kinds of possible worlds that science and technology bring into being; and third, as a framework for governing innovation sensitive to the dynamics of specific technologies and to the particular socio-political context in which innovation develops.

Download or read book Indicators for Promoting and Monitoring Responsible Research and Innovation written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report of the Expert Group on Policy Indicators for Responsible Research and Innovation, considers options for RRI indicators. It divides such indicators into three sections: i) (good) governance as an overarching principle for R & I networks; ii), public engagement, gender equality, science education, open access and ethics, as the five main keys for governance; and iii), sustainability and social justice/inclusion as a more general policy goal. The expert group concludes that, for the sake of manageability, actors should use a limited tailored set of indicators according to their own needs, goals and concerns. It makes a tentative proposal for a smaller set of indicators that could be used in a European R & I policy context, presented as a table at the end of the report. The expert group sees the development of indicators as a bottom-up process, guided by the collaboration between relevant stakeholders. It recommends that a set of indicators should be chosen that include indicators for all the dimensions of RRI and that focus on performance (outcome and process). Indicators should furthermore be meaningful and conducive to good processes that develop RRI as a policy principle. That is, rather than "hard facts", chosen because they are easy to quantify, emphasis should be placed on information that is helpful in collaborative modes of governance, developing trust, best practices and mutual institutional change.
