58. Technological Responsibility. Guidelines for a shared governance of the process of socialisation of scientific research and innovation, within an interconnected world

The Guidelines (SET-DEV Project, 2011) are the result of dialogue and cooperation between representatives of three major scientific cultures of Europe, India, and Africa. The Guidelines are a practical contribution about how can be promoted effective collective responsibility in science and technology and how scientific and technological research can better integrate into society and be more relevant to society’s needs. In particular, the document is centred on the concept of socialisation of scientific and technological research and its areas (scientific practice; scientific mediation, scientific communication; evaluation; innovation; governance; gender; substantive approaches). For each of these areas, several frames of responsibility are outlined which act as reference points for identifying problems and finding solutions concerning the relationship between science technology, and society.

Part of interest: In particular, see the general summary with the list of frames of each area, at Pp.21-35.
