See CRICOS-registered alternativesEmerging science and technology is creating complex issues for societies and their decision makers. Novel and disruptive innovations and technologies present significant policy, regulatory and ethical challenges, which if left unresolved, could constrain the potential for future science to deliver benefits to society. Researchers need to be able to distinguish between 'responsible research' (upstream standard operating procedures and ethics) and 'responsible innovation' (RI) which extends the research to include downstream stakeholders (produce consumers, retailers and those who provide product support). This subject provides learners with resources to operationalise the Responsible Innovation (RI) concept into their own disciplines through developing their own views and stance on what it means to practice innovation responsibly. It equips learners with a basic knowledge of RI and specific implementation tools using a range of case studies and scenarios that explore the complexity of issues across the sciences in for example, agri-technology, marine science, molecular biology and science futures. Participants will be introduced to the various elements generally considered to be encompassed by RI including values and assumptions; rationale and motivations for RI; inclusive deliberation; evaluation of ideas and accounting for the intangible. By exploring contested issues in RI across different environmental, policy and societal contexts, the subject aims to help students develop their own personal insights on how to become a more deliberative RI 'practitioner'.
