Faculty Fellow and Associate Dean of International Engagement Diana Bowman recently co-authored a paper on responsible research and innovation (RRI) in nanotechnology.
Devices of Responsibility: Over a Decade of Responsible Research and Innovation Initiatives for Nanotechnologies, published in Science and Engineering Ethics, discusses and takes stock of the international efforts to guide the responsible development of nanotechnology.
The paper reflects on the current state of RRI in nanotechnology and the tools of technology governance that have developed. Lastly, the authors propose avenues of further RRI research, development, and application.
