Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal explores the principles and practices of Responsible Innovation (RI) and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). It examines how these frameworks are applied in various contexts, including engineering education, water reuse, artificial intelligence, scientific funding, public engagement, health data ecosystems, and digital technologies. The journal also investigates challenges in implementing RI/RRI, such as public acceptance, institutional constraints, ethical considerations in design, and the negotiation of responsibilities across different stakeholders. Furthermore, it considers the role of values, care, and societal needs in shaping innovation pathways and addresses the broader implications of technological progress in areas like the Anthropocene and the Metaverse.
