Amme, Calls for background studies on RRI, to which ethicists, legal and governance scholars, and innovation research scholars responded. s One revolutionary element is the shift in terminology, from responsibility (of individuals or organized actors) to accountable (of research, improvement PubMed ID:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21307840 and innovation). The terminology has implications: who (and where) lies the duty for RI becoming Accountable This may well lead to a shift from becoming accountable to “doing” accountable improvement. t The earlier division of labour around technology is visible in how unique government ministries and agencies are accountable for “promotion” and for “control” of technology in society (Rip et al. 1995). There’s extra bridging of the gap involving “promotion” and “control”, as well as the interactions open up possibilities for modifications in the division of labour. u The reference to `productive’ is an open-ended normative point, a Kantian regulative concept as it were. It indicates that arrangements (up to the de facto constitution of our technology-imbued societies) can be inquired into as to their get HA15 productivity, with out necessarily specifying beforehand what constitutes `productivity’. Which will be articulated throughout the inquiry. v Cf. Constructive TA with its strategy-articulation workshops (Robinson 2010), where mutual accommodation of stakeholders (such as civil society groups) about overall directions happens outside frequent political decision-making. w In each instances, conventional representative democracy is sidelined. This may possibly result in reflection on how our society ought to organize itself to deal with newly emerging technologies, with additional democracy as 1 possibility. There happen to be proposals to consider technical democracy (Callon et al. 2009) and the suggestion that public and stakeholder engagement, when becoming institutionalized, introduce components of neo-corporatism (Fisher and Rip 2013: 179).pRip Life Sciences, Society and Policy 2014, ten:17 http:www.lsspjournal.comcontent101Page 13 ofIn an earlier article within this series, Zwart et al. (2014) emphasize that in RRI, compared with ELSA, “economic valorisation is provided far more prominence”, and see this as a reduction, and a reduction they’re concerned about. Even so, their powerful interpretation (“RRI is supposed to help research to move from bench to industry, in an effort to build jobs, wealth and well-being.”) seems to become primarily based on their all round assessment of European Commission Programmes, rather than actual data about RRI. I would agree with Oftedal (2014), applying the exact same references as he does, that the emphasis is on process approaches in which openness, transparency and dialogue are critical. y With RRI becoming pervasive in the EU’s Horizon 2020, along with the attendant reductions of complexity, this is a concern, and anything could be done about it in the sub-program SwafS (Science with and for Society). See http:ec.europa.euresearchhorizon2020pdf work-programmesscience_with_and_for_society_draft_work_programme.pdf z The European Union’s activities are more than developing funding possibilities, there might be effects within the longer term. The Framework Programmes, by way of example, have developed spaces for interactions across disciplines and countries, and especially also between academic science, public laboratories and industrial analysis, which are now normally accepted and productive. The emergence of those spaces has been traced in some detail for the programmes BRITE and ESPRIT inside the early 1980s, by Kohler-Koch and.
