This book offers a comprehensive overview of current developments
in the field of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). Divided
into three parts, the book first presents reflections on the
concept of RI from various angles: how did it come about, who is
involved and how might in be applied in various contexts, such as
the academic environment or in developing countries. The second
part discusses the actual application of RRI to technology
development: for climate engineering, water management and energy
technology along with a general discussion on how to integrate RRI
in innovation trajectories. The last part offers a closer look at
the application of RRI to the business context. This part offers
lessons from comparable concepts such as social and sustainability
innovation as well as insights from two case-studies, one in the
food sector and the other in data management. As a whole, the book
contributes to the ongoing development of the framework of RRI by
giving an overview of the state-of-the art research, presenting the
lessons learned from several case studies, and showing the way for
future application of RI in other fields and cultural contexts,
such as industry and developing countries.

The rapidly-evolving world of the 21st century faces tremendous
challenges of economic, ecological, social, cultural and global
dimensions to be handled by citizens with an increasing
self-consciousness. Naming just some of the challenges provides
immediate insight into their magnitude, nature and diversity:
reduce and prevent international instability, reduce over
exploitation of earth resources, respond to the greenhouse threat,
meet the needs of a rapidly growing global population, create a
fairer distribution of wealth, guide rural and urban development.
These are just some of the interrelated and interacting challenges
of developing sustainably in a highly dynamic and interconnected
world. They are characterised by the need for long-term approaches,
the involvement of many stakeholders with conflicting interests and
the fact that their approach demands parallel routes on different
scales.
