Abstract

This study discusses the research trends in Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) which recently emerged as the central concept among international innovation policy circles. In particular, we attend to the conceptual diversity of RRI, showing that each trend emphasizes different elements of RRI and reflects the context in which the concept has emerged. The first trend centers on research on governing emerging technologies which has been developed from the tradition of technology assessment and ELSI. The second trend has been closely related to the innovation policy efforts to take up the social challenge driven innovation as a new driving force for innovations. The third involves the attempts to operationalize the concept of RRI to evaluate whether the vision of RRI has been successfully incorporated in the actual innovation practices. We also insist that recent Korean R&D policies which emphasize social responsibility of science and technology include essential elements of RRI, although they do not use the term RRI. Finally, we discuss policy implications of discourse over RRI on such innovation policies.

이 논문은 최근 연구혁신 정책의 중요한 화두로 등장한 ??사회에 책임지는 연구혁신(Responsible Research and Innovation, RRI)??의 연구 동향을 검토한다. 특히 이 논문은 RRI 개념이 과학기술의 사회적 책임이라는 공통분모를 갖지만 동시에 개념이 발전해온 배경에 따라 각기 다른 강조점을 지닌 다양한 모습으로 발전하고 있음에 주목하고, RRI관련 논의를 RRI 개념이 발전해온 배경과 관련해 세 가지 흐름으로 나누어 논의한다. 첫 번째는 신기술의 사회적 영향 예측과 이에 대한 거버넌스를 중심으로 한 RRI 연구로 기술영향평가 및 ELSI를 배경으로 하는 흐름이고, 두 번째는 사회적 도전에 대한 대응을 새로운 혁신의 원동력으로써 강조하고, 이를 담보하기 위한 방안들을 제도화하려는 혁신정책 차원의 연구이며, 셋째는 추상적인 RRI 개념을 평가 가능한 형태로 조작화하고, 이를 통해 연구혁신과정에 RRI의 비전이 얼마나 잘 반영되고 있는지를 평가하는 데 초점을 맞추는 연구이다. 나아가 이 논문은 최근 한국에서 진행되고 있는 과학기술의 사회적 책임을 강조하는 연구혁신정책이 RRI의 핵심적인 가치들을 포함하고 있음을 강조하며, RRI 논의가 이러한 변화의 노력에 주는 정책적 실천적 함의를 논의한다.
