The Center for the Study of Ethics in the Professions has
just received an award of $108,669 to be the the participant for the United
States in a project funded by the European Commission called “Promoting Global
Responsible Research and Social and Scientific Innovation” or ProGReSS.
The project, which also includes universities and ethics center from Europe,
China, Japan, India, Australia, and South Africa seeks to explore what is meant
when we talk about Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) that is,
research and innovation which is: a)ethically acceptable, b) is sustainable by
avoiding significant adverse effects and b) drives towards the common good,
i.e. societal desirability. Dr. Michael Davis and Kelly Laas of the Center will
be the primary investigators on this project.
The project will link existing international networks of RRI
from all continents with European partners and seek to achieve the
following:
1. Link existing international networks of RRI with relevant societal actors on a global scale to focus innovation on societal desirability.
2. Complete a major fact-finding mission comparing science funding strategies and innovation policies in Europe, the US, China, Japan, India, Australia, and South Africa.
3. Advocate a European normative model for RRI globally, using constitutional values as a driver to inform societal desirability.
4. Develop a strategy for fostering the convergence of regional innovation systems at the global level.
