Are you a newcomer to Responsible Innovation (RI)?
What is Responsible Innovation
Responsible Innovation means to:
Orientate innovation activities towards solving the grand challenges of society.
Anticipate the impacts an innovation will have and work accordingly to benefit society and the environment.
Develop new technologies, products, services and business models that are socially acceptable and desirable.
Co-design whole systems (e.g. health care, food system, mobility) instead of focusing on individual technologies or products.
Co-create innovations together with the people affected by them.
Respect ethical limitations, if you ignore them, you risk your social license to operate.
