Responsible Research and Innovation. Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) has a particular importance since it can be defined as an inclusive approach to Research & Innovation (R&I), aiming at better aligning both the process and outcomes of R&I with the values, needs, and expectations of the society, notably through reinforcing public engagement, open access, gender dimension, ethical issues, and (formal and informal science) education. Control: Cloud computing entails the outsourcing of Information Communication Technologies (ICT) tasks to third party service providers (Xxxxxxxxx, 2010; Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx, 2009). As such, information that once used to be stored in local premises is now stored in the cloud. Users therefore place data on machines that are not directly controllable and therefore renounce control these resources and data. As mentioned by Xxxxxxxx (2010) risks associated with this change of control in cloud computing mainly rely in data corruption, infrastructure or system architecture failure or unavailability/outing and unauthorized access A THREE STEPS ETHICS STRATEGY by third-parties. Ethical problems arise in times of disaster or simply if something goes wrong. In fact, it is hard to distinguish the entity that has originated the problem, to the point that, as mentioned by Xxxxxxxxx (2010), it is almost impossible to hold someone accountable and responsible for a problem in a dispute, when lacking strong supporting evidence. In addition, the de-parameterisation1 shadows the border of organizations IT infrastructure and consequently disguises their accountability. Responsibility: Since responsibilities are divided between customer and provider of the service, neither is in position to address emerging problems (Xxxxxxxxx, 2010). In cloud computing a service delivered to a user depends on another system that also depends on other systems. A cloud service to the end-users may use service-oriented architecture (SOA) where functionalities aggregate services into larger applications. Once again, ethical problems arise in times of disaster or simply if something goes wrong. By having a highly multifaceted structure of cloud services, it is most certainly difficult to determine who is responsible in case of an undesirable event. This lead to a severe ethical problem called the “Problems of many hands”, that dictates that in a complex chain of systems where people a share in an action that leads to undesirable consequences, many people have also had the opportunity to preven...

Responsible Research and Innovation. ‌ One of the approaches that is mentioned by many authors in relation to the implementation of an adaptive governance of innovation in Europe is the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). RRI is the overall approach in EU to address the issue of innovation governance. RRI is discussed in details in D6.2, therefore it is not the scope of this deliverable to discuss in detail the link between RRI and nanotechnology. In this context, RRI is discussed in relation to the application of Horizon Scanning in Technology Assessment, and its role for the implementation of RRI as an adaptive governance approach. DG-Research published in 2013 a report titled “Options for Strengthening Responsible Research and Innovation” (EC, 2013). The need to write such a report was born from the existence of a number of initiatives that have been undertaken by EU Member States and the European Commission to achieve better alignment of research an and innovation with societal needs. In that report, Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) is defined as: “the comprehensive approach of proceeding in research and innovation in ways that allow all stakeholders that are involved in the processes of research and innovation at an early stage (A) to obtain relevant knowledge on the consequences of the outcomes of their actions and on the range of options open to them and (B) to effectively evaluate both outcomes and options in terms of societal needs and moral values and (C) to use these considerations (under A and B) as functional requirements for design and development of new research, products and services”. One of the six actions points that are included in the RRI framework according to DG-RTD (EC, 2012) is Governance, which is the umbrella under which all aspects of RRI are covered, and that is expressed as the responsibility of policy makers to prevent harmful and unethical developments in research and innovation. The other 5 actions are: • Engagement: all actors, such as industry, researchers, policy makers, and civil society, need to be engaged in the innovation process, to address ethical and societal needs, and to support mutual learning. This kind of dialogue is necessary for safe innovation and early-on identification of risks and uncertainties; • Gender equality: women need to be included in the innovation process, especially in the research phase, and not only as consumers; • Science education: a sustainable research and innovation process needs a knowledge-based society,...
