Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to inform you that our Special Issue on “Luck as a Challenge for the Responsible Governance of Science and Technology” has been published in the Journal of Responsible Innovation.

As we outline in our editorial, luck has played the role of an antagonist to responsibility: responsible innovation is, in part, an effort to control for the possible negative effects of luck. If we are to have innovations that are socially desirable and ethically acceptable, it seems, we must prevent bad luck by controlling for uncertainty wherever we can. This Special Issue of the Journal of Responsible Innovation tackles the relationship between responsibility and luck head on, with authors providing assessments and potential solutions for the problems that luck creates, for how researchers conceive of their own responsibilities, how institutions can be more responsible toward research itself, and how we can take luck up into our innovation practices in a productive way. Short summaries of the contributions can be found in the attached editorial.

We like to thank all contributors and reviewers for their effort and their support to this exciting project!

Sincerely, Martin & Samantha
