Responsible innovation for disruptive science and technology: The role of public trust and social expectations
As the world increasingly faces intersecting and complex environmental, social, and economic challenges, there are rising demands on emerging science and technology to produce innovative and potentially disruptive solutions. However, these solutions may also introduce different problems, uncertainties, and risks. Responsible innovation (RI) offers a way to identify and mitigate the social and ethical risks associated with new science and technolo…
From a land ‘down under’: The potential role of responsible innovation as practice during the bottom-up development of mission arenas in Australia
This perspective paper integrates theories of responsible innovation (RI) with the nascent development of the concept of mission-oriented innovation to address wicked socio-institutional challenges. Theoretically, steering a Mission-oriented Innovation System (MIS) and associated ‘mission arena' toward activities that create virtuous cycles of RI practice will lead to cumulative impacts on the evolution of innovation system cultures. We explore t…
Applying a risk governance approach to examine how professionals perceive the benefits and risks of clinical genomics in Australian healthcare
Clinical genomics is a system of multiple stakeholders and institutions. Yet, studies focusing on the comparative perspectives of these stakeholders are limited. This study engages four groups of professionals (clinical geneticists, genetic counselors, laboratory professionals, and researchers) working in clinical genomics to investigate their perceptions of the benefits and risks of using genomics in Australian healthcare. The study is underpinn…
Social Licence as a Regulatory Concept: An Empirical Study of Australian Company Directors
Growth of ‘social licence to operate’ (‘SLO’) may reflect an evolution of the stakeholder-shareholder debate, and an expansion of the power of employees, investors and society generally, described by the smart regulatory model as third-party or ‘surrogate’ regulators of corporate activity. Despite the broad implications of SLO for regulation, little is known about the perceptions of company directors in relation to SLO. This article reports on an…
Towards responsible science and technology: How nanotechnology research and development is shaping risk governance practices in Australia
Incorporating perspectives of multiple stakeholders concerning the appropriate balance of risks and benefits of new and potentially disruptive technologies is thought to be a way of enhancing the societal relevance and positive impacts of those technologies. A risk governance approach can be instrumental in achieving balance among diverse stakeholders, as it enables decision-making processes informed by multiple dimensions of risk. This paper app…
Ethical responsibility and computational design: Bespoke surgical tools as an instructive case study
Computational design uses artificial intelligence (AI) to optimise designs towards user-determined goals. When combined with 3D printing, it is possible to develop and construct physical products in a wide range of geometries and materials and encapsulating a range of functionality, with minimal input from human designers. One potential application is the development of bespoke surgical tools, whereby computational design optimises a tool’s morph…
Responsible digital agri-food innovation in Australian and New Zealand public research organisations
This article analyses digital agricultural technologies (agtech) innovation in two public research organisations in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand through the lens of responsible innovation (RI), and how corresponding activities were realised in practice. Four virtual workshops explored the operationalisation of RI and its efficacy in digital agtech development. Thematic analysis of workshop materials provided scope to assess the recognised a…
How environmental values influence trust and beliefs about societal oversight and need for regulation of the Australian cattle industry
Livestock grazing covers half of Australia and vast areas of global terrestrial ecosystems. The sustainability of the beef cattle industries are being scrutinised amid ongoing environmental concerns. In response, industry discourse has identified public trust as critical to avoiding reactive environmental regulation. However, public perceptions of the cattle industry’s sustainability performance and trust are largely unknown and speculative. We p…
Open science for responsible innovation in Australia: Understanding the expectations and priorities of scientists and researchers
Recent arguments for responsible innovation to progress beyond the narrow focus on open access and toward open science present the opportunity for a deliberate global transition to a culture of transparent and open scientific conduct that will deliver greater societal benefit. This paper presents results from a survey of 171 Australian scientists, researchers and other professionals on their expectations and perspectives of transparency and openn…

Exploring the value proposition for RRI in Australia
Until recently, ‘Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI)’ was very much a nascent concept in Australia. This research, examining RRI in the Australian context, created both expectations and scepticism about the value it might bring to Australia. Such responses are not surprising as many Australian research institutions are under increasing pressure from stakeholders to improve the performance, effectiveness, and accountability of their research…
The community cost of consultation: Characterising the qualitative social impacts of a wind energy development that failed to proceed in Tasmania, Australia
Using a Community Vote for Wind Energy Development Decision-Making in King Island, Tasmania
In 2012, a large scale wind energy project was proposed for development in King Island, Tasmania, Australia. The project proponents adopted what they described as a ‘best practice’ approach to community engagement; an approach expected to achieve positive outcomes for developer and community by maximising community involvement in decision-making, limiting social conflict, and enhancing the potential of achieving the social licence to operate. Des…
Trust, engagement, information and social licence—insights from New Zealand
This research examines trust at the government, industry, community nexus, as mediated by media, and its effect on social licence to operate. Researchers attempted to understand levels and importance of trust in New Zealand's natural resource sectors by examining ways of building, maintaining and assessing public trust in a post-truth society. We surveyed 128 New Zealand public and held a stakeholder forum about perceptions of trust in relation t…

DNA Testing for Family Reunification in Canada: Points to Consider
Countries have adopted different laws, policies, and practices that allow immigration officers to request in certain cases DNA tests to confirm biological relationships in the context of family reunification. In Canada, Citizenship and Immigration Canada has adopted a policy of suggesting DNA testing only as a last resort in cases where no documentary evidence has been submitted or where the evidence provided is deemed unsatisfactory. However, in…
The social licence to operate: A critical review
Changing societal expectations have influenced the way industries involved in the development or extraction of natural resources conduct their operations around the world. Increasingly, communities are demanding more involvement in decision-making around such operations, have expectations of receiving a greater share of the benefits from these operations and require assurances that the industries involved are appropriately regulated. The combinat…

Utilising Diversity To Achieve Water Equity
In the realm of water justice there are a myriad of competing equity claims. Water is highly valued for a range of uses but competition for the resource can create divisions among the community of users. Moreover some parts of the community such as women and the poor are denied adequate access to water. This type of social exclusion can occur in a variety of ways, but for many, exclusion means they are denied basic choices about water due to a la…
What Is The Relationship Between Human And Social Capital: What Transfers To Whom
The concepts of human capital and social capital have come to be widely used across government policy and academia in relation to their perceived roles in community engagement and social well-being. However in understanding the nature of these two distinct forms of capital there seems to be a pervasive notion that by simply increasing the stocks of human capital held within individuals, we might automatically expect to see a growth in the levels …
