Abstract

In European science and technology policy, various styles have been developed and institutionalised to govern the ethical challenges of science and technology innovations. In this paper, we give an account of the most dominant styles of the past 30 years, particularly in Europe, seeking to show their specific merits and problems. We focus on three styles of governance: a technocratic style, an applied ethics style, and a public participation style. We discuss their merits and deficits, and use this analysis to assess the potential of the recently established governance approach of 'Responsible Research and Innovation' (RRI). Based on this analysis, we reflect on the current shaping of RRI in terms of 'doing governance'.

对规范科学的不同治理风格的反思:对“负责任的研究与创新”的贡献。

在欧洲的科学和技术政策中，已经发展了各种风格，并将其制度化，以管理科学和技术创新的伦理挑战。在本文中，我们给出了过去30年最主要的风格，特别是在欧洲，试图显示其具体的优点和问题。我们关注三种治理风格:技术官僚风格、应用伦理风格和公众参与风格。我们讨论了它们的优点和缺点，并利用这一分析来评估最近建立的“负责任的研究与创新”(RRI)治理方法的潜力。基于这一分析，我们从“做治理”的角度反思当前RRI的塑造。

期刊介绍： The purpose of Life Sciences, Society and Policy (LSSP) is to analyse social, ethical and legal dimensions of the most dynamic branches of life sciences and technologies, and to discuss ways to foster responsible innovation, sustainable development and user-driven social policies. LSSP provides an academic forum for engaged scholarship at the intersection of life sciences, philosophy, bioethics, science studies and policy research, and covers a broad area of inquiry both in emerging research areas such as genomics, bioinformatics, biophysics, molecular engineering, nanotechnology and synthetic biology, and in more applied fields such as translational medicine, food science, environmental science, climate studies, research on animals, sustainability, science education and others. The goal is to produce insights, tools and recommendations that are relevant not only for academic researchers and teachers, but also for civil society, policy makers and industry, as well as for professionals in education, health care and the media, thus contributing to better research practices, better policies, and a more sustainable global society.
