The Philosophies and Policies of Responsible Research and Innovation
  
 
  
Place: Campus WU, TC.1.02
  
Time: 12 May at 5:30 p.m. 
  
 
  
In his talk, Prof. Roger Strand will present the philosophical origins of the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) concept as well as the current policy battles over its content and importance.
  
 
  
The concept of RRI came to prominence when EU's 8th framework programme for research funding, Horizon 2020, endorsed it as a "cross-cutting principle" potentially to be implemented in all parts of Horizon 2020. Late 2014, an international conference on the science-society interface culminated with so-called Rome Declaration on RRI, see http://ec.europa.eu/research/swafs/pdf/rome_declaration_RRI_final_21_November.pdf <https://mail.a1.net/webmail/redirect?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.a1.net%2Fwebmail%2Fredirect%3Fu%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fec.europa.eu%252Fresearch%252Fswafs%252Fpdf%252Frome_declaration_RRI_final_21_November.pdf>
