Wiarda, M.J. (author), Janssen, Matthijs J. (author), Coenen, Tom B.J. (author), Doorn, N. (author)Governance lies at the heart of instigating, steering, and creating the conditions for mission-oriented transitions that potentially help resolve some of our grand societal challenges. In doing so, policymakers will need to navigate both epistemic and normative considerations to develop, implement, and evaluate missions responsibly. A number...journal article 2024

Baldassarre, B.R. (author), Calabretta, G. (author), Karpen, Ingo Oswald (author), Bocken, Nancy (author), Hultink, H.J. (author)In the 1960s, influential thinkers defined design as a rational problem-solving approach to deal with the challenges of sustainable human development. In 2009, a design consultant and a business academic selected some of these ideas and successfully branded them with the term “design thinking.” As a result, design thinking has developed into...review 2024

Wiarda, M.J. (author), Sobota, V.C.M. (author), Janssen, Matthijs J. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author), Yaghmaei, E. (author), Doorn, N. (author)Mission-oriented innovation policy is currently gaining renewed interest as an approach for addressing societal challenges. One of the promises is that missions can mobilise and align diverse stakeholders around a shared goal. Recent literature underlines the importance of public participation (e.g. municipalities and civil society organisations...journal article 2023

Wiarda, M.J. (author), Doorn, N. (author)Societal challenges tend to be characterized by their multi-scalarity as problems emerge and co-evolve on multiple scales. Resolving these challenges requires innovators to navigate often conflicting considerations between multiple scales when dealing with complexity, uncertainty, and contestation. Innovators need to ground resolutions in local...journal article 2023

van Grunsven, J.B. (author), Stone, T.W. (author), Marin, L. (author)It is crucial for engineers to anticipate the socio-ethical impacts of emerging technologies. Such acts of anticipation are thoroughly normative and should be cultivated in engineering ethics education. In this paper we ask: ‘how do we anticipate the socio-ethical implications of emerging technologies responsibly?’ And ‘how can such responsible...journal article 2023

Heezen, Marjolein (author), Pesch, U. (author), Correljé, A. (author), Van Zoonen, Liesbet (author), Ten Kate, Janneke (author)Smart cities are proposed as a solution for problems of urbanization. Technologies associated with smart cities involve the monitoring of human activities and resulting data streams. These technologies affect certain public values, which may be subject to change depending on their sociotechnical development. This paper presents a method that...journal article 2023

Lukovics, Miklós (author), Nagy, Benedek (author), Roosenboom-Kwee, Z. (author), Yaghmaei, E. (author)In this paper, we use an economic approach to demonstrate why ‘rational’ businesses are not likely to implement responsible innovation (RI) unless it is economically profitable. The lack of sufficient insights into economic impacts of RI is often induced by information asymmetry. Such asymmetry would hinder consumers who would otherwise be...journal article 2023

Nguyen-Phuoc, Duy Quy (author), Nguyen, Nguyen An Ngoc (author), Tran, Phuong Thi Kim (author), Pham, Huong Giang (author), Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author)Motorcycle riding is the principal mode of travel in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Motorcycle-based transport is regarded as highly problematic today due to reliance on fossil-based fuels, which contributes to climate change. Additionally, emissions from fuel combustion release air pollutants in urban areas, resulting in public...journal article 2023

Palmeros Parada, M.D.M. (author), Randazzo, Serena (author), Gamboa, Gonzalo (author), Ktori, R. (author), Bouchaut, B.F.H.J. (author), Cipolina, Andrea (author), Micale, Giorgio (author), Xevgenos, Dimitris (author)This work explores resource recovery coupled to seawater desalination in small islands. As small islands depend on seawater desalination for water access, they make an excellent ground for exploring the trade-offs associated to resource recovery, like potential economic gains, energy use, and environmental impacts. Here, we investigated these...journal article 2023

Damond, Jori (author)As our electricity system becomes more complex, decentralized, and unstable, research on solutions to relieve the grid are needed. Local energy storage could contribute significantly to the solution. This study focused on one solution in particular: the neighborhood battery. Neighborhood batteries are emerging as a technical and social...master thesis 2022

Pesch, U. (author)TThis chapter presents the sociotechnical value map (STVM) as a method to<br/>map out values in a sociotechnical system. To identify these values, the publics<br/>that are or can be related to a given technology must be traced. The STVM<br/>combines elements from evolutionary theory of technology development and<br/>value sensitive design (VSD)....book chapter 2022

This open access book shows how value sensitive design (VSD), responsible innovation, and comprehensive engineering can guide the rapid development of technological responses to the COVID-19 crisis. Responding to the ethical challenges of data-driven technologies and other tools requires thinking about values in the context of a pandemic as well...book 2022

Wiarda, M.J. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author), Doorn, N. (author), Yaghmaei, E. (author)Standardisation is increasingly seen as a means to insert ethics in innovation processes. We examine the institutionalisation of responsible innovation in de jure standardisation as this is an important but unexplored research area. In de jure standardisation, stakeholders collaborate in committees to develop standards. We adopt the anticipation...journal article 2022

VARLAMI, KONSTANTINA (author)Nowadays, research and innovation sectors undergo continuous change through innovations. Innovations consist of numerous environmental, social and financial factors that need to be linked with social and moral values. Towards this direction, the Responsible Innovation (RI) concept has emerged. Although RI is an extensively researched topic,...master thesis 2021

Steen, Marc (author), Sand, M. (author), van de Poel, I.R. (author)Governments and companies are increasingly promoting and organizing Responsible Innovation. It is, however, unclear how the seemingly incompatible demands for responsibility, which is associated with care and caution, can be harmonized with demands for innovation, which is associated with risk-taking and speed. We turn to the tradition of virtue...journal article 2021
