“…Moreover, the influence of the innovation resources on responsible innovation is further discussed. The current research focuses on the direct relationship between innovative resources and responsible innovation [7]. Our study also confirms the direct impact of innovative resources and responsible innovation, and further explores the role of promotion focus as a mediator between innovative resources and responsible innovation.…”

“…This means the survival needs of enterprises are the long-term basis of development needs and self realization needs [53]. Enterprises will only consider assuming ethical responsibilities after they have achieved sufficient fund accumulation [7]. Therefore, in the early stage of innovation, enterprises with sufficient funds often have remaining capacity to slow down their innovation efficiency properly; they can use forward-looking analysis to explore and evaluate the possible consequences of innovation, and improve their ability to control and predict the risks of innovation activities, finally enabling them to promote the implementation of responsible innovation.…”

“…Antel took the field of fetal surgery as the research object and explored the relationship between innovative resources and the technical ethics of fetal surgery using case study methods [6]. Lukovics compared the innovation environment of Hungary and the Netherlands using the social technology integration research method, and explored the impact of R & D costs and the number of R & D personnel on responsible innovation [7]. However, the above research only uses qualitative research methods to explore the impact of innovative resources on responsible innovation; the research ignores the internal mechanism of the impact of innovative resources on responsible innovation.…”

This paper discusses the relationship between innovative resources, promotion focus, adaptive governance and responsible innovation. In accordance with the path of “demand—motivation—behavior”, this paper takes adaptive governance as the moderator, and constructs an influence relationship model of “innovative resources—promotion focus (adaptive governance)—responsible innovation”. Then this paper takes 361 managers from above the middle management level and the technical personnel of enterprises as the investigation objects, and conducts empirical research by using the structural equation model. The results show that: (1) innovative resources have a significant positive impact on responsible innovation; (2) promotion focus partially mediates the effect of innovative resources on responsible innovation; (3) adaptive governance has a positive moderating effect on the relationship between innovative resources and responsible innovation. The results enrich the quantitative research of responsible innovation, reveal the internal mechanism of innovative resources affecting responsible innovation, provide a new way for technological innovation governance and provide a new way of thinking for the transformation from the traditional innovation paradigm into a sustainable innovation paradigm.

“…Among these methods, the Socio-Technical Integration Research (STIR) has a demonstrable record of achievement: since 2006, STIR has been applied effectively among active researchers in more than 50 laboratories and other organizations in both developed and developing countries (e.g., Fisher, 2010;Flipse & van de Loo, 2018;Flipse & Osseweijer, 2013;Lukovics, Fisher, & Udvari, 2016;Lukovics, Flipse, Udvari, & Fisher, 2017;Richter, Tidwell, Fisher, & Miller, 2017;Schuurbiers & Fisher, 2009). Although STIR has a relatively long history, it has not been employed as a tool in science education yet, but because of its long track-record and significant results, we test it in a specific RRI level.…”

Raising Awareness of Researchers-in-the-Making Toward Responsible Research and Innovation

Across the globe, research, development, and innovation (RDI) processes are operating at increasingly accelerated paces, promising rapid development and higher standards of living, but also increasing the likelihood of unintended, socially undesirable effects that inevitably attend progress. The notion of responsible research and innovation (RRI) has emerged in response to this dilemma, and the integration of RRI into daily RDI practices itself represents a considerable challenge. Integrating RRI concepts and practices at an early or even pre-career stage, before researchers fully develop their daily routines, could strengthen the assimilation of RRI into RDI more generally. Thus, in line with the emphasis of RRI on science education, how to integrate RRI aspects in the thinking of researchers-in-the-making before they start their active research carrier is an important but under-investigated question. In addition, the special features of Generation Z currently being in higher education suggest the use nontraditional tools in science education. Accordingly, this exploratory study asks how the RRI-awareness of researchersin-the-making can be raised. We adapt the Socio-Technical Integration Research (STIR) method, which facilitates reflection on societal aspects during scientific research practices and decisions, to the context of science education. We test the introduction of STIR among researchers-in-the-making studying natural sciences at the University of Szeged (Hungary). Our findings suggest potential steps for science education on RRI with attention to the special needs Generation Z and facilitating their RRI awareness for their active researcher career.

“…For instance, broad participation by different stakeholders in a plenary deliberation forum fits well with liberal democratic values typical of Western societies, but one cannot assume that it would be a suitable way to engage and empower project stakeholders in certain Asian societies with strong hierarchical social relations. Since RI has predominantly evolved from European and North American research and innovation practice (Macnaghten et al, 2014) and therefore implicitly embodies a Western cultural value set, it should be challenged and further developed with respect to its broader cultural applicability (Fisher, 2016;Lukovics, Flipse, and Udvari, 2017;Wong, 2016). Yet, RI literature hardly addresses the role of national culture and cultural value differences in the operationalisation of RI dimensions.…”

Responsible Innovation (RI) recently emerged as an approach that addresses issues related to major social andenvironmental risks and uncertainties in complex innovations. At this stage, more inquiry is still needed to make theWestern-rooted RI approach more contextual and to facilitate its applicability in practice, especially in other culturalsettings. To address this issue, we propose a conceptual framework based on Hofstede’s dimensions of nationalculture and core processes of RI. We argue that the cultural dimensions are likely to play distinct roles in influencinghow these RI processes would be interpreted and operationalised in different societies with different cultures,illustrating this with some examples from Asian countries. Ultimately, the paper emphasises the importance ofevolving a broader, more comprehensive and mature approach to RI that takes cultural aspects explicitly intoaccount.
