Des concepts à la pratique de l'innovation responsable: à propos d'un séminaire franco-britannique

Abstract

This paper, based on a Franco-British workshop, presents definitions, experiences, governance and public participation methods, referring to responsible innovation processes in which the issue of interdisciplinarity plays a central role. The paper describes the advances and limitations of the policy instruments used in different countries for the social management of situations where innovation moves faster than knowledge of its effects. The author's conclusion is that the question of responsible innovation relates in actual fact to that of the trajectory of innovation, which in fine is the concern of citizens. © 2012 NSS-Dialogues, EDP Sciences.
