Europe wants to promote not only
excellent but also socially desirable science and technology: it is
vital to align the objectives of research and innovation processes with
the needs and values of the societies that support them. There is clear
evidence that today we need to involve the whole of society in the
decisions about the development of science and technology so we can all
contribute to the smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth of our
societies. This is the core of the ambitious initiative of the European
Commission on Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) as a cross-cutting issue in Horizon 2020, the current Framework Programme for Research and Innovation.
