Where are the politics in responsible innovation? – Five years later

Where does Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) stand today? Have its politics changed? How is RRI received and enacted "on the ground"? In this talk, I offer responses to these questions based on my experiences as a sociologist of science and researcher at a nuclear research center, who "moves with" RRI to facilitate socially responsible technology development. I discuss challenges and opportunities inherent in mobilizing RRI, such as: the strong evaluative connotation of RRI and its top-down character; the lack of industry involvement in RRI processes; and the hybridization of SSH through inter- and transdisciplinary research.
