| Resumo: | Within the framework of European research policy, there is a growing tendency to open up debate on the definition of problems and the expected benefits of solving them. This has taken the form of what has been called “RRI” (Responsible Research and Innovation), conceived as a guiding principle for innovation aimed at addressing major social challenges on the basis of a process of mutual responsibility facilitated by the institutionalization of effective governance mechanisms. In this paper, we argue that the practical development of integrative and deliberative governance mechanisms helps to facilitate the integration of actors with a potential interest in sociotechnical research processes. For this purpose, we outline a number of consultative processes conducted in Europe that aim to improve co-responsibility by involving the public. Our review highlights some tensions affecting the different conceptions of participation and deliberation, the institutional design of initiatives and the phase of investigation for their implementation. The paper suggests the need to innovate democratic experiences by focusing on the early stages of scientific and technological activities and promoting the epistemic and social contribution made by actors in order to strengthen reflexivity and mutual responsibility in the research governance system. |
