Last call for registration for our international PhD course on "Philosophy of Responsible Innovation", Delft/Wageningen (the Netherlands)
Dear colleagues, <br>Sorry for cross-posting. Can you please forward this message to PhD candidates <br>who may be interested in Responsible Innovation? <br> <br>Vincent Blok, Wageningen University <br>https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Vincent_Blok <br> <br> <br>"Philosophy of Responsible Innovation" (2020) - OZSW + 4TU course <br> <br>Organizating University <br>Wageningen University - Vincent Blok <br>(vincent.blok@wur.nl) <br>Delft University of Technology - Ibo van de Poel <br>(I.R.vandePoel@tudelft.nl) <br> <br>About the topic <br>This course discusses the main philosophical issues in relation to Responsible <br>Innovation, an emerging concept in the EU context which highlights the <br>relevance of social-ethical issues in research and innovation practices. This <br>emerging concept calls for philosophical reflection on the nature, scope and <br>applicability of responsibility and innovation in innovation practices in <br>general, and the way social-ethical issues can be applied and addressed in <br>specific fields like business, healthcare and energy in particular. Topics <br>that will be covered include the nature of responsibility in responsible <br>innovation, the role of societal values in innovation and value sensitive <br>design, philosophical reflections on the role of knowledge and risk in <br>innovation, constructive technology assessment and governance of responsible <br>innovation, Responsible Innovation in the public sector (healthcare), <br>responsible innovation in the private sector. <br>Students get to know some of the main positions in relation to philosophical <br>issues in responsible innovation, the main arguments in the relevant debates <br>and insight in the dilemma's which appear in the practical application of <br>responsible innovation in the public and private sector. Although the focus is <br>on the philosophical and ethical issues raised by responsible innovation, we <br>will also touch upon some more fundamental philosophical issues raised by <br>responsible innovation. This includes issues like: <br> <br>* The nature of responsibility in light of the unpredictability of the <br>future impact of innovations <br> <br>* The philosophical assumptions of the innovation paradigm <br> <br>* The way (responsible) innovations affect experience and praxis <br> <br>* Value incommensurability, value pluralism and the trade-offs between <br>values in responsible innovation <br> <br> <br>Aim / objective <br>To become acquainted with the main philosophical issues in relation to <br>Responsible Innovation. <br> <br>Target group <br>PhD students (alfa, gamma, beta) who start their research in the field of <br>Responsible Research and Innovation, and PhD students in philosophy who want <br>to learn more about philosophical and ethical reflection in the field of <br>science and technology development.
