“…This partly explains why Gianni (2016) argues that the multiple disciplinary understandings of responsibility must be integrated in a broader concept that can grasp, on one hand, the "accountability for a commitment" already taken and, on the other hand, a more open, forwardlooking "commitment towards an undetermined future" (p. xii). Yet, little is known about the way the publics define where responsibility may lie ex ante, that is, when asked to anticipate both the potential impacts of future technologies and the social context in which their use may take place (Boenink et al, 2010;Heidingsfelder et al, 2015).…”

“…To summarize, RRI calls for inclusive reflections on the "underlying purposes, motivations and potential impacts" of innovations; on what is known and unknown about them; on the risks, ethical dilemmas, and assumptions at play; and on the forms of governance and regulation that may apply (Owen et al, 2012: 755). Because inclusive anticipatory and participatory processes are key components of RRI, but their operationalization with the publics has been scantly investigated (Arentshorst et al, 2016;Heidingsfelder et al, 2015), this article's aim is to empirically examine how members of the public conceive of the relationship between responsibility and future health technologies. Figure 1 illustrates our analytical framework, which, following Grunwald (2014), posits that when members of the public think about responsibility and attribute responsibility to moral agents (sociopolitical dimension), they draw on a body of rules that foreground various ethical concerns (moral dimension) and on available knowledge (epistemic dimension).…”

Anticipating health innovations in 2030–2040: Where does responsibility lie for the publics?

Considering that public engagement is pivotal to the mission of Responsible Research and Innovation, this article's aim is to examine how members of the public conceive of the relationship between responsibility and prospective health technologies. We organized four face-to-face deliberative workshops and an online forum wherein participants were invited to comment on scenarios involving three fictional technologies in 2030 and 2040. Our analyses describe how participants anticipated these technologies' impacts and formulated two conditions for their use: they should (1) be embedded within professional care and services and (2) include social protection of individual freedom and privacy. By clarifying what technological direction shall be avoided and who shall act responsibly, these conditions emphasize our participants' understanding of society as much as their understanding of science. For new technologies to be deployed in socially responsible ways, public engagement methods should be developed alongside public governance and regulatory strategies.

“…Participatory methods for Futures Studies have been discussed since the 1960's and over the last two decades practitioners developed and applied numerous participatory methods [40]. Here, stakeholder engagement has become a norm, but moving from interdisciplinary settings and stakeholders towards also including laypeople into forward looking activities can be increasingly observed [41][42][43][44][45][46]. Collective utopian thinking is seen as a tool for strategic long term thinking and transdisciplinary problem solving [47,48].…”

Current governance structures are increasingly showing inability to address complex issues such as the Grand Challenges. Dealing with these highly interrelated, cross cutting, extensive and potentially open ended issues requires research, development and innovation to be oriented towards societal needs and demands. Here, developing and applying sustainable long term strategies for socio-technical change on the basis of socially robust knowledge seems inevitable and using the tools of anticipatory governance-forward looking and participation-is essential in order to govern innovation actively and responsibly. Yet, expert-based forward looking has its limits, especially when considering long term perspectives, and may fail to include all necessary opinions. Thus, stakeholder engagement has become a norm over the last decades, but including laypeople into forward looking science, technology and innovation (STI) governance is underexplored. Here, strategy and policy programme development may be well suited to function as early entry point for public needs and values into the innovation process. This paper will briefly review the theoretical basis for transdisciplinary forward looking and provide first insights into an ongoing highly deliberative and reflexive foresight and co-creation process engaging science, society and policy makers, CIMULACTCitizen and Multi-Actor Consultation on Horizon2020. We will especially focus on the role of technology within a collective visioning exercise that allowed for shared explorations of desirable futures, thereby collecting tacit knowledge as well as social needs and values. Integrating these with stakeholders' and experts' knowledge serves for co-creating socially robust knowledge for orienting policy and strategy programming towards needs based science, technology and innovation.

“…In this context, many researcher emphasize designers' ability to facilitate and argue that the integration of designers and design methods foster processes of knowledge production and innovation (e.g. Sanders & Stappers 2008;Christensen & Junginger 2014;Sanders & Stappers 2014;Heidingsfelder et al 2015).…”

This paper presents the approach and results of our workshop "Strategies for Synergies" hold at the 12 th EAD Conference. The main aim was to develop innovative ideas to establish interdisciplinary working in the education of designers and researchers. In this context, we wanted to elaborate which competences are necessary to work in interdisciplinary teams and how these competences could be integrated in design and research curricula. Our results show, that empathy, emotional intelligence, and communication skills, are identified as key capabilities for the success of interdisciplinary work. Educational formats, fostering those competences, are focused on practice-oriented experiential learning, to prepare students with first hand experiences.
