Expanding the field of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) – from responsible research to responsible innovation

Stig‐Erik Jakobsen, Arnt Fløysand, John Overton · 2019 · European Planning Studies

Summary. Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) has become prominent in policy but remains narrow and top-down. This special issue broadens RRI by examining how researchers, firms, and other actors actually practice responsible innovation across sectors and regions. The authors expand RRI beyond research processes to include how knowledge becomes innovation in society, and encompass non-research-driven innovation. Ten case studies reveal heterogeneous responsibility practices, leading to recommendations for a multidimensional, multi-scale RRI framework.
