Responsible innovation: bringing together technology assessment, applied ethics, and STS research

Armin Grünwald · 2011 · Repository KITopen (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)

Summary. Responsible innovation integrates technology assessment, applied ethics, and science-technology-society studies to embed ethical reflection into research and development processes. The framework brings together established practices in assessing technology impacts, involving stakeholders, and evaluating outcomes with explicit ethical responsibility. Research institutions and funding agencies increasingly adopt this integrative approach to shape how innovation develops, creating opportunities for broader actor participation and reflection in R&D governance.
