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

Shelley-Egan, C. (author), Vermaas, P.E. (author)In this editorial, we engage with the European Commission's 2023 recommendation calling for risk assessment with Member States on four critical technology areas, including quantum technology. A particular emphasis is put on the risks associated with technology security and technology leakage. Such risks may lead to protectionist measures....contribution to periodical 2024

Nguyen, Minh Hieu (author), Nguyen-Phuoc, Duy Quy (author), Nguyen, Nguyen An Ngoc (author), Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author)Using mobile phones while riding is a form of distracted riding that significantly elevates crash risk. Regrettably, the factors contributing to mobile phone use while riding (MPUWR) among food delivery riders remain under-researched. Addressing this literature gap, the current study employs the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model and various...journal article 2024

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

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

Palmeros Parada, M.D.M. (author), Kehrein, P.A. (author), Xevgenos, Dimitris (author), Asveld, L. (author), Osseweijer, P. (author)The recovery of resources, including water reuse, has been presented as a solution to overcome scarcity, and improve the economic and environmental performance of water provision and treatment. However, its implementation faces non-technical challenges, including the need to collaborate with new stakeholders and face societal acceptance...review 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

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

Wiarda, M.J. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author), Yaghmaei, E. (author), Doorn, N. (author)Responsible Research and Innovation and Responsible Innovation, as academic endeavours, have grown substantially since their birth in the previous decades. They have been used as synonyms on a structural basis, and both concepts have been studied from various disciplinary backgrounds. This paper identifies Responsible Research and Innovation...journal article 2021

Bruynseels, K.R.C. (author)Digitalization of biological populations and ecosystems changes our relation towards them. In silico representations of natural systems make them available as resources that allow for novel ways of deriving economic value. These extracted data and models also open novel routes for responsible innovation based on biological systems and derived...journal article 2020

(author)There is now almost a decade of experience with RRI (Responsible Research and Innovation), including a growing emphasis on RRI in industry. Based on our experiences in the EU-funded project PRISMA, we find that the companies we engaged could be motivated to do RRI, but often only after we first shifted initial assumptions and strategies....journal article 2020

de Reuver, Mark (author), Robbins-van Wynsberghe, A.L. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), van de Poel, I.R. (author)In this paper, we argue that the characteristics of digital platforms challenge the fundamental assumptions of value sensitive design (VSD). Traditionally, VSD methods assume that we can identify relevant values during the design phase of new technologies. The underlying assumption is that there is only epistemic uncertainty about which...journal article 2020

Bruynseels, K.R.C. (author)Synthetic biology, as an engineering approach to biological systems, has the potential to disruptively innovate the development of vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics. Data accessibility and differences in data-usage capabilities are important factors in shaping this innovation landscape. In this paper, the data that underpin synthetic...journal article 2020

van de Poel, I.R. (author), Sand, M. (author)The notion of responsible innovation suggests that innovators carry additional responsibilities (to society, stakeholders, users) beyond those commonly suggested. In this paper, we will discuss the meaning of these novel responsibilities focusing on two philosophical problems of attributing such responsibilities to innovators. The first is...journal article 2018

Flipse, S.M. (author), Puylaert, Steven (author)Following societal and policy pressures for responsible innovation, innovators are more and more expected to consider the broader socio-ethical context of their work, and more importantly, to integrate such considerations into their daily practices. This may require the involvement of ‘outsiders’ in innovation trajectories, including e.g....journal article 2017

Sonck, M.M. (author), Asveld, L. (author), Landeweerd, L. (author), Osseweijer, P. (author)The concept of mutual responsiveness is currently based on little empirical data in the literature of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). This paper explores RRI’s idea of mutual responsiveness in the light of recent RRI case studies on private sector research and development (R&D). In RRI, responsible innovation is understood as a...journal article 2017
