COLLABORATION FOR RRI

Are we successful at involving different stakeholders in the debate on emerging technologies?

At what stage of the research process should stakeholders be involved?

These issues are part of the new European challenge of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI).

COLLABORATION FOR RRI

1. Presentation about RRI and key features

2. Presentations: initiatives nanOpinion, PERARES, VOICES.

3. A “World Café” on stakehoder engagement: who, how (assessing a preliminary checklist), when. 4. Conclusions

RESPONSIBLE RESEARCH & INNOVATION

5 YEARS AGO AT THE EC

Research for knowledge

Research for challenges(We need excellent research & socially desirable)

Better solutions to social problems (co-creation)

FROM PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT TO

One definition of RRI

cross cutting issue

Science for and with Society

“RRI is a transparent, interactive process, by which societal actors and innovators become mutually responsive to each other with a view to the (ethical) acceptability, sustainability and societal desirability of the innovation process and its marketable products (in order to allow a proper embedding of scientific and technological advances in our society)”

Von Schomberg, 2011

And (among others):

CLIMBING THE LADDER OF PARTICIPATION

|

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Engaged publics, engage in discussions, reflections empowered peopleResponsible actors: actor that has internalised RRI, they know how to actResponsible institutions: RRI embedded in institutions

|

R&I OUTCOMES

Ethical (shared values and norms, make them explicit, dilemas, controversies), Sustainability (environmental protection, social equity, next generations)Social desirability (responsive to the needs, visioning where do we want to go together)

Solutions to societal challengesSOCIETAL OUTCOMES

HOW? METHOD?

& Jack Stilgoe, University College London

AREA: ANTICIPATE, REFLECT,

ENGAGE, ACT

& Jack Stilgoe, University College London

|

ANTICIPATE

• imagining possible & desirable futures

• understanding how present dynamics shape the future

PROCESS REQUIREMENTS: How can we engage?

|

REFLECT

• purposes, motivations, values and assumptions (at individual and institutional level)

Not about talking about risks to make sure there will not be obstacles to the research…

PROCESS REQUIREMENTS: How can we engage?

|

Purposes of innovation.Why do it? Who might benefit and how? Will such benefits be equitable? Will it confer burdens to some or many? In whose interests is it being undertaken…?

What alternatives to this technology could there be?

Ex. Biofuel- too late, no anticipationEx. Synthetic biology- debate in the UK on risks, but what about benefits? (depend on IP, governance, research…)

Dialogues on hazard/safety

@SujathaRaman2, Univ. Of Nottingham & Jack Stilgoe, UCL

REFLECT: purposes

|

ENGAGE

Inclusion: Involvement of wide range of stakeholders (when, who and how)

Diversity: Variety of interests, values, prespectives, backgrounds.

Meaningful openness: inform but also adapted to make sure it has meaning.

PROCESS REQUIREMENTS: How can we engage?

|

ACT

Responsiveness: listen to different perspectives and being opened co-creation and integration

Adaptive change: translation into actions (should be explicit at the begining) at individual, institutional and system level

|

POLICY AGENDAS

Policy Agendas (called key dimensions by EC)

| WORLD CAFÉ

1. Do you think science centres should promote public discussions on desired impacts of emerging technologies?

2. Should different stakeholders be more engaged in the decision-making of R&I?

3. Which stakeholder group are being less engaged? (think of subgroups)

4. Should stakeholders be engaged already at the beginning of the process, when the project is being defined, and then all through the process?

5. Do you agree on the 7 key features that a public engagement exercise should approach?
