Presenting the Responsibility Platform at the “IEEE Tenth International Conference on Research Challenges in Information Science, 1-3 June 2016, Grenoble, France
This work was carried out as part of EU FP7 Responsibility Project to implement an online platform for Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), which provides anticipatory and deliberative tools to address societal expectations with regard to research and innovation and mobilises information technology tools for inclusive, responsive and sustainable research. In particular, we have developed a Forum, which is a Web-based application and service for stakeholders to deliberate and discuss about RRI.
Different interaction modalities are supported by the Forum, such as: Caucus Process, Suggestion Board, Partnership Initiative, etc. A special attention is devoted to the Citizen Jury and Tacit Knowledge modules that represent some innovative features of our Forum. The outcomes show that our online Forum represents an effective solution to address RRI issues by adopting e-Government and knowledge management approaches.
