Rethinking participation and knowledge
The past two decades have seen an intensification of research and development in assistive technologies for people living with dementia. While many of these projects emphasize inclusion, participation often takes place under restrictive conditions: through structured evaluations, usability testing, or proxy-based design feedback. This paper argues that such frameworks limit what kinds of knowledge are recognized as valid and what forms of express…
Assessing the effectiveness of citizen participation
This article examines the impact of participatory processes in research organisations, focusing on the 'Citizens' Dialogues' initiative at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. As research increasingly embraces inclusive approaches, the article presents a scheme designed to evaluate the effects of such dialogues on different actor groups: citizens, scientists and institutional management. Drawing from both literature and practical experience, the sc…

Frictional methodologies
This article explores how moments of silence, hesitation, and misrecognition can become methodologically generative in participatory research. Drawing on empirical work in the context of health, care, and socio-technical design, and grounded in feminist epistemology, postcolonial critique, and care ethics, we approach methodology not as a fixed set of tools, but as a n ethical and relational practice. Through a dialogical structure, we trace fiel…
Land use conflicts between biomass and power production – citizens’ participation in the technology development of Agrophotovoltaics
Despite the technical feasibility of renewable energy technologies and their contribution to climate-friendly power production public opposition can be a hurdle for new installations of renewable energy plants. This study assesses citizens’ perceptions of the Agrophotovoltaics (APV) technology by applying the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) concept. APV combines biomass cultivation and solar power production at the same site in order to…
Public Participation in the Development Process of a Mobility Assistance System for Visually Impaired Pedestrians
Blind and visually impaired people have to cope with the safe movement through public space and the (lack of) knowledge of spatial issues and walkable routes. These challenges often lead to a fear of accidents and collisions, frequently also of disorientation. This, in turn, can result in a reduced radius of action, restricted mobility, and later on, in social isolation. Against this background, the project TERRAIN aims at developing a technical …
Imagined technology futures in demand-oriented technology assessment
Anticipation of the future use of innovative technologies and of their respective societal impact is at the core of technology assessment and responsible research and innovation. Stakeholder and user involvement is often thought to be important for broadening the design and specification of technology before its use; meanwhile, demand analysis is typically used to determine which type of already developed technology is best suited to adequately m…
A new monitoring process of future topics for innovation and technological analysis
Technology assessment (TA) is defined as problem-oriented transdisciplinary research that aims at working out solutions for societal problems. It provides advice to those in politics, science and wider society on issues related to research, technology and innovation. There is widespread agreement that TA should start at an early phase in order to contribute to responsible strategic technology development. If we assume limited resources, the quest…
