Research infrastructures, such as electronic databases, mega-telescopes and other large scale research equipments do not operate in a societal vacuum. Embedded within society their implementation and use also needs to reflect their societal implications.
Whilst research on secure, clean and efficient energy effects everyone, current and future generations all over the globe, society does currently not have a role in most of the research activities that are done in this realm going beyond the role of a mere end-user.
A series of three workshops was developed by SL Energy team on these issues.
NewHoRRIzon invites you to submit an abstract for the session ‘Opening up science through public engagement’ at the Eu-SPRI conference in Utrecht, The Netherlands, 3-5 June 2020.
Dates: 4 November 2019 Place: Wageningen, the Netherlands Description RRI is a European framework in the research and innovation domain that tries to be sensitive and reflexive about societal needs and demands towards innovators and researchers, their work, and their outputs. Our work focused on engaging in discourses with key industry players, civil society organisations Read more about Social Lab 5 – Workshop 2[…]
We are relieved that our requests for a stronger consideration of SwafS and RRI have made it into the report on the web-based consultations.
The second workshop of Social Lab 6 on RISK and SMEs focused on developing and revitalizing its Pilot Actions and on identifying concrete plans to implement RRI in SMEs.
This workshop will engage in scenario-building, because scenarios can be a powerful illustrative communication tool and spark debates about which future we think is desirable for societally engaged research.
The authors of this brochure take the view that the present ecological challenges call for a new type of Responsible Research and Innovation
The NewHoRRIzon project published its second policy brief in September 2019. We suggest that to better integrate RRI into research funding and governance RRI as policy construct must shift from a general ‘cross-cutting issue’ to an explicit policy goal, explicated in clear guidelines for action.
On September 3rd to 5th, the RRI lab – a pilot action of Social Lab 18 – was present at the annual OpenLivingLab Days in Greece. The RRI lab aims to foster face-to-face knowledge-sharing, networking, awareness and public engagement activities around RRI.
