Call for papers - "Responsible innovation in the emerging synthetic biology industry" UK Synthetic Biology Conference, Bristol, 19-20 November 2018
Dear all, <br> <br>Call for papers for a panel on "Responsible innovation in the emerging <br>synthetic biology industry". This panel is part of a series of RRI events <br>that will be held alongside the UK Synthetic Biology conference in Bristol, <br>19-20 November (organised by BrisSynBio). <br> <br> <br> <br>Responsible innovation in the emerging synthetic biology industry: challenges, <br>possibilities, implications <br> <br>Organizers: Achim Rosemann, Sally Atkinson and Susan Molyneux-Hodgson <br>(University of Exeter). <br> <br> <br> <br>RRI frameworks encourage broad, early-stage public engagement and continuous <br>collaboration between societal actors during the whole of the research and <br>innovation process. While the origins of RRI lie primarily in academia and the <br>publicly funded research sector, in recent years the concept has started to <br>play an increasingly important role in industry innovation. However, as <br>various commentators have pointed out, there are significant tensions between <br>public sector RRI and the characteristics and practices of industry innovation <br>(Dreyer et al. 2017; Lubberink et al. 2017; Stahl 2018). <br> <br>This panel seeks to explore the challenges, possibilities and implications of <br>the adoption of RRI ideas, concepts and tools in emerging synthetic biology <br>industries. Corporations are expected to play a leading role in the <br>commercialization of synthetic biology over the next years, but how feasible <br>are existing RRI concepts for industrial biotechnology companies that use <br>synthetic biology techniques? To what extent and how do (or will) companies <br>engage with RRI? And how do the meanings, practices and aims of RRI change in <br>the context of industrial commercialization? <br> <br>More specifically, the panel aims to generate insights into: <br> <br> * the emerging concepts, discourses and meanings of RRI in the context of <br>the "industrialization" of synthetic biology <br> * the ways in which RRI ideas are translated into actual practices in <br>biotech corporations <br> * the hurdles and challenges for the adoption and implementation of RRI <br>ideas in industrial biotechnology innovation <br> * the tensions between public sector RRI and the characteristics and <br>requirements of industry innovation <br> * the (financial, organizational, discursive, etc) implications of the <br>adoption of RRI ideas in industrial biotechnology, and the ways in which the <br>adoption of RRI in corporations changes actual innovation and <br>commercialisation practices <br>Process and Deadline: <br> <br>If you would like to participate in this panel, please send your abstract to: <br>a.rosemann@exeter.ac.uk by 18 September 2018. <br>Abstracts should be 250 words. <br> <br>Many thanks, <br>Sally <br>Sally Atkinson <br>Research Associate (Anthropology) <br>University of Exeter <br>Telephone: 01392 72 5133 <br>www.exeter.ac.uk <br>Byrne House, St German's Road , Exeter, Devon, EX4 4PJ <br>[http://www.exeter.ac.uk/codebox/email-sig/staff-sig.gif] <br>This email and any attachment may contain information that is confidential, <br>privileged, or subject to copyright, and which may be exempt from disclosure <br>under applicable legislation.
