Abstract

Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) is a concept emerging rapidly as a theoretical and methodological framework to shape science for better society, instead of merely for economic growth. While the responsibility of science usually means ethics of researchers in the process of research, RRI extends the concept of the responsibility by claiming that researchers should be responsible for the purpose and outcome of research as well. In addition, RRI proposes four interconnected concepts of anticipation, reflectivity, deliberativeness/inclusiveness, and responsibility as a methodological framework to achieve these tasks. However, RRI is not merely a theoretical concept but has been already practiced at many levels in real world. We discuss how RRI has been practiced and played important roles in reflecting on research and innovation policies in the past and guiding new policies by examining two research projects, STIR and SPICE, and three national R&D programs, EPSRC's embracement of RRI in the Britain, MVI in the Netherlands, and R&D for social problem-solving in Korea.

사회에 책임지는 연구와 혁신(RRI)은 과학기술을 단지 경제성장의 도구를 넘어 더 나은 사회(better society)를 위한 도구로 자리매김하기 위한 이론적 방법론적 프레임워크로 한창 논의중인 개념이다. RRI는 연구와 혁신에 수반되는 책임의 범위를 연구과정뿐 아니라 연구의 목적과 동기 나아가 연구결과에 대한 책임으로까지 확장한다. 또 이러한 책임을 구체적으로 실현하기 위한 방법론적 프레임워크로 예견, 성찰, 숙의/포괄성, 책임이라는 네 가지의 상호 연관된 개념을 제시하고 있다. RRI는 단지 이론적 논의에 머무는 것이 아니라 이미 다양한 수준에서 실천되고 있다. 이에 이 연구는 STIR와 SPICE라는 두 연구프로젝트와 영국의 EPSRC, 네덜란드 MVI, 한국의 사회문제 해결형 연구개발사업과 같은 사례를 통해 RRI가 어떻게 기존의 혁신정책 및 연구개발사업을 성찰적으로 반성하고 새로운 대안을 제시하는 방향타 역할을 하고 있는지를 논의한다.
