This book covers all forms of ethical assessment of research and innovation at the European Commission, including the implications of the concept of RRI which has emerged as a new framework to be used by the European Commission, and indeed including the newer concepts of Open Innovation and Open Science which are designed to subsume and reconfigure RRI. The book can be used as a ‘how to’ guide to understand and navigate the ethical and societal demands in developing European research projects; it also pushes the reflection and reflexivity further, bringing provoking new (and also some very old) perspectives to bear on ardent debates in studies of expertise, ethics and policy making.

Cosmopolitics, Precaution and the Paradox of Ethics

From Governing Innovation to Instituting Europe

De nouveaux mondes se dessinent, sur fond de mise à l’épreuve de la démocratie, de l’Europe, et de l’idéal même de valeurs communes. De la Terre brûlée à la citoyenneté rêvée, de l’intelligence artificielle au génie génétique, émergent de nouvelles possibilités d’émancipation autant que d’exploitation. Dans quel monde voulons-nous vivre ensemble ? analyse la manière dont notre monde est conçu, donnant à saisir tant ses injustices structurelles que ses lueurs et fulgurances. Il développe ainsi de nouvelles ressources pour penser le monde et le construire autrement. Il offre pour cela des réponses éclairantes et subversives aux grandes questions philosophiques, et construit les instruments conceptuels pour mener à bien la quête de l’éthique digitale et génétique – recherche de l’Europe comme « faire-nous » et quête romanesque de l’humanité elle-même. Appel lucide à construire attentivement nos relations et notre monde, cet ouvrage nous entraîne à la résistance et nous ouvre à d’autres possibles.

This book argues that a New Deal for research in Europe is needed. This New Deal would involve the mobilisation of policy actors across all levels-–regional, national and European-–and their commitment to develop a more effective research system based on actions where they have the greatest impact. The book presents, from a viewpoint inside the European Commission, the nuts and bolts of how EU research policy is actually designed. It also provides a comprehensive analysis, on the basis of factual evidence, not only of the positive impacts of European research, but of the various criticisms that have been made of the Framework Programme.
