An unfinished journey? Reflections on a decade of responsible research and innovation

Richard Owen, René von Schomberg, Phil Macnaghten · 2021 · Journal of Responsible Innovation

Summary. This paper reviews ten years of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) as a policy framework developed by the European Commission. The authors trace RRI's evolution from its initial conception through the Seventh Framework Programme to Horizon 2020, examining how it became organized around five key pillars: gender equality, open access, science communication, ethics, and public engagement. They assess RRI's impact on discussions about science, innovation, and society, and consider its future role within the EC's Open Science agenda and Horizon Europe programme.
