Dear colleagues,
<br>
<br>We are pleased to invite you to participate in an upcoming workshop
<br>"*Dismantling boundaries between STS and Design: A workshop on RRI and
<br>assessment practices in co-creation landscapes*", on _November 20, 2019
<br>at Politecnico di Milano, Italy. **_
<br>
<br>*Venue:* Laboratorio Colore (Department of Design) Campus Bovisa Ed. B4,
<br>Via Candiani 72, Milano
<br>
<br>The development and introduction of new technologies within our
<br>turbulent society is crucial in solving and shaping challenges in equal
<br>measure. In this regard, the concept of co-creation has been recently
<br>introduced in diverse fields as a way to engage lay people and
<br>stakeholders in the ideation, implementation and assessment of
<br>innovative solutions to societal challenges, by embracing a
<br>sensitiveness towards their (ethical) acceptability, sustainability and
<br>societal desirability. As pointed out by scholars engaged in Science &
<br>Technology Studies and design, co-creation has the potentiality to
<br>become a novel constitutive driver for performing Responsible Research
<br>and Innovation (RRI), with the overall expectation of increasing the
<br>societal value of science and technology, not only by striving to manage
<br>unwanted consequences.
<br>
<br>The workshop, by offering the opportunity to STS and design
<br>international scholars to interact with practitioners engaged in
<br>co-creation initiatives, will be an opportunity to reflect on emerging
<br>practices of assessing the translation of RRI practice within
<br>co-creation initiatives. Full description of the workshop and more
<br>information in attachment and at this link: bit.ly/2m2WsBF
<br>
<br>*Confirmed keynotes: *Simone Arnaldi (University of Trieste);Tsjalling

<br>and non-tenured researchers interested in this topic. To express an
