JACQUELINE BROERSE ATHENA, VU UNIVERSITY AMSTERDAM
Faculteit der Aard- en Levenswetenschappen2
KEY WORDS
• Responsive – to societal needs• Multi-actor – academia, public, private, civil society• Inclusive – gender vulnerable groups (e.g. poor,
ethnic minorities, disabled)• Transdisciplinary – multidisciplinary perspectives,
integration scientific and experiential/practical knowledge• Open and transparant – accountability• Flexible reflexive, learning process

MORE THAN A SOCIAL INNOVATON
• RRI requires different routines, structures, way of thinking novel way of doing science
• Not easy to realize• Need for change of incumbent regime – dominant
culture, structure and practice
System change!
MULTILEVEL PERSPECTIVE
4 Faculteit der Aard- en Levenswetenschappen
‘Niches’ Innovative experiments in which actors create alternative practices (compared to regime)
‘Regime’ Dominant structure, culture and practice of system
Regime
Landscape
Niche
‘Landscape’ Broader societal trends
Faculteit der Aard- en Levenswetenschappen5
CHALLENGES
• Lack of sense of urgency– No observed surplus value of participation– Fear for delay and complication of decision making
• Dominant structures and procedures– Financing structure dominated by scientists– Appraisal procedures based on scientific criteria– No additional means for involvement
Faculteit der Aard- en Levenswetenschappen6
CHALLENGES
• Characteristics research community:– Strong specialization in monodisciplines– Importance of scientific achievement and publications– Importance of scientific autonomy and curiosity– Undervalution of experiential/practical knowledge
• Characteristics civil society:– Limited will to participate (I don’t have time)– Lack of scientific knowledge (I don’t know)– Limited ability of objectification and abstraction– Lack of self-confidence and empowerment

PHASES IN TRANSITIONS
Transitions run into resistance of actors and constraining regime factors
