Embedding responsible innovation within synthetic biology research and innovation: insights from a UK multi-disciplinary research centre

Mario Pansera, Richard Owen, Darian Meacham, Vivienne Kuh · 2020 · Journal of Responsible Innovation

Summary. A UK synthetic biology research centre embedded responsible innovation practices into its operations from 2014 to 2019, moving beyond public engagement to include anticipation, reflexivity, and deliberation. The centre struggled to measure how these interventions changed scientists' daily practices and research outcomes. Success required strong leadership, institutional support, openness to change, and robust impact measurement mechanisms.
