"Responsible Research and Innovation provides a comprehensive and impartial overview of the European Commission's Responsible Research and Innovation framework, including discussion of both the meaning and aims of the concept, and of its practical application. As a governance framework for research and innovation, RRI involves four key perspectives: ethical; economic/business; legal and governance; and political.
