In Europe, responsible research and innovation (RRI) has emerged as a science policy measure that demands the early integration of a broad range of social actors and perspectives into research and development (R&D). More collaboration of the social sciences and humanities (SSH) with science and engineering appears within this policy framework as a crucial element that will enable better technological development. However, RRI is new to both natural scientists and SSH scholars, and interdisciplinary collaborations are challenging for many reasons. In this paper, we discuss these challenges while suggesting that what RRI can be in a particular project is not a given but remains an empirical question. Natural scientists and SSH scholars need to coresearch RRI in an experimental mode.
在欧洲,负责任的研究和创新(RRI)已经成为一项科学政策措施,要求将广泛的社会行为者和观点尽早纳入研究和开发(R&D)中。在这个政策框架内,社会科学和人文学科(SSH)与科学和工程学的更多合作被视为一个关键要素,这将使技术发展得更好。然而,RRI 对于自然科学家和 SSH 学者来说都是新的,而且跨学科合作由于多种原因具有挑战性。在本文中,我们讨论了这些挑战,同时表明 RRI 在特定项目中可以是什么并不是给定的,而是仍然是一个经验问题。自然科学家和 SSH 学者需要以实验模式共同研究 RRI。
