ABSTRACT

Drawing on more than eight years working to implement Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) in the Human Brain Project, a large EU-funded research project that brings together neuroscience, computing, social sciences, and the humanities, and one of the largest investments in RRI in one project, this article offers insights on RRI and explores its possible future. We focus on the question of how RRI can have long-lasting impact and persist beyond the time horizon of funded projects. For this purpose, we suggest the concept of ‘responsibility by design’ which is intended to encapsulate the idea of embedding RRI in research and innovation in a way that makes it part of the fabric of the resulting outcomes, in our case, a distributed European Research Infrastructure.

摘要

在八年多的时间里致力于在人类大脑项目中实施负责任的研究和创新 (RRI)，这是一个由欧盟资助的大型研究项目，汇集了神经科学、计算、社会科学和人文科学，是对人类大脑的最大投资之一RRI 在一个项目中，本文提供了对 RRI 的见解并探讨了它可能的未来。我们专注于 RRI 如何能够产生持久影响并在资助项目的时间范围之外持续存在的问题。为此，我们提出了“设计责任”的概念，旨在封装将 RRI 嵌入研究和创新的想法，使其成为结果结构的一部分，在我们的案例中，是一个分布式的欧洲研究基础设施。
