Day two: WORKSHOP RESPONSIBLE INNOVATION: FROM LEGITIMATION TO APPLICATION

The GREAT project will investigate current practices in responsible research and innovation and develop a sound theoretical approach in order to analyse, compare, evaluate and improve these practices. Every other approach to RRI involves usually a predetermined taking a position from where consequences are drawn out  and working out the consequences of that prior decision, regardless of emergent conditions. GREAT’s novelty lies in not being tied to a predetermined approach, but in developing a procedure adaptable to novel scenarios. Based on a grid of analysis, the project will identify collaborative arrangements involving both, responsible research and innovation. It will then analyse them to identify and understand the characteristics, influencing factors and best practice of responsible research and innovation in a normative way. This should allow planning, implementation and assessment of RRI in new and unforeseen circumstances.

If, on the one hand, we can disconnect the concept of responsibility from the one of innovation to analyse them, on the other, we cannot simply add one on the other in order to reach a comprehension of what ‘Responsible Innovation’ means.
More specifically the concept of innovation cannot be dealt and thought separately and then be confronted with the one of responsibility, rather we will have to build an entirely new concept that is that of ‘Responsible Innovation’.
Further on, one of the main difficulties of this construction and of the whole project itself, will not only be the capability of thinking and developing this concept, but to do it in a way that will be efficient to be adopted in various fields.
The aim of the workshop is not to provide an answer to those problems and questions but to generate the awareness of the complexity of the problems related to responsible innovation efficiency in complex contexts.

The workshop will therefore try to frame the conceptual and empirical scenario in order to understand the complexity of the matter and activate a reflection process within the Consortium.
