who is interested to participate, as member of the p2p-f network, to the following potential EU grant:
Kevin, thanks for spreading this via the p2p value mailing list: Project initiative on ‘Responsible Research and Innovation’ Request to express your interest as a potential consortium partner The Work Programme 2014-2015 of the European Commission contains some calls for the promotion of ‘responsible research and innovation’. See ‘ISSI.5.2014_2015 – Supporting structural change in research organisations to promote Responsible Research and Innovation’ and GARRI.1.2014 – Fostering RRI uptake in current research and innovation systems’ at http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/wp/2014_2015/main/h2020-wp1415-swfs_en.pdf. I agree with Leif Thomas Olsen (see http://p2pfoundation.net/The_R2R_Research_Process_Protocol_Project) that, in order to define and perform responsible research and innovation, we need a new collaborative, commons-driven, research model. I would add to this process-like approach, that we also need a different substantial approach, i.e. we need to realise ‘glocal sustainability research’. Glocal sustainability research a) takes ‘strong sustainability’ as its normative starting point and takes this normative ambition as a standard against which to evaluate its performance, b) is transdisciplinary in nature, because it has to deal with the complexity of real life situations—emerging of an interplay between both global and local causes and reasons—and because it has to respond to the normative aspirations of a diversity of local and global, actual and future stakeholders, and c) is interactive or participatory action research because the results of common theoretical and practical actions cannot be forecasted and, hence, need ongoing monitoring and adjustment. The implementation of Responsible Research and Innovation in current research organisations and research and innovation systems asks for several structural transformations, e.g. regarding the definition of intellectual property regimes (i.e. the way diverse contributions to glocal sustainability research are remunerated and valorised), regarding the processes guiding the definition and performance of research agenda’s, -projects, and –teams, and regarding funding mechanisms for research. In my view, the calls on Responsible Research and Innovation offer an opportunity to further clarify, substantiate, and experiment with both the procedural and substantial challenges to implement responsible research and innovation both at the level of research organisations and of research and innovation systems. Therefore, my request to express your interest to contribute to this research initiative and to indicate the procedural or substantial kind of contribution you would like to provide.Project initiative on ‘Responsible Research and Innovation’ Request to express your interest as a potential consortium partner The Work Programme 2014-2015 of the European Commission contains some calls for the promotion of ‘responsible research and innovation’.
