Responsible innovation as a critique of technology assessment

Harro van Lente, Tsjalling Swierstra, Pierre‐Benoît Joly · 2017 · Journal of Responsible Innovation

Summary. This paper examines how responsible research and innovation (RRI) relates to technology assessment (TA). While both approaches share similar goals and practices, the authors argue that RRI functions as a critique of TA rather than simply building on it. The paper explores this alternative interpretation of their relationship, particularly in the context of EU policy frameworks like Horizon 2020.
