17Turning the tide or surfing the wave? Responsible Research and Innovation, fundamental rights and neoliberal virtuesLife Sciences, Society and Policy 12 (1): 1-19. 2016.The notion of Responsible Research and Innovation has increasingly attracted attention in the academic literature. Up until now, however, the literature has focused on clarifying the principles for which research and innovation are responsible and on examining the conditions that account for managing them responsibly. Little attention has been reserved to exploring the political-economic context in which the notion of RRI has become progressively more prominent. This article tries to address thi…Read more
