AB - Recently in the fields of science and technology policy studies and innovation studies, the concept of “responsible research and innovation (RRI)” gained its visibility. Being mainly discussed in European Union and in the United States, responsible research and innovation (RRI) is researched academically and also being practiced in policy-making processes. In this paper, I show that the concept of responsible research and innovation (RRI) may have its origins in the field of bioethics. Since later decades of the last century, there were many discussions about how science and technology research should be conducted ethically while being socially-aware. Here I analyze three foreign case studies to bolster this argument. First case study: Nuffield Council on Bioethics in the U.K. periodically publishes reports on bioethics. Some of the reports explicitly deal with the concept of RRI. Second case study: U.K. Medical Research Council (MRC) published Good Research Practice (GRP). I show that the concept of GRP is connected with the concept of RRI. Third case study: United States’ National Science Foundation (NSF) published a code of conduct called Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR). By showing that RCR also explicitly requires RRI-related responsibilities from its NSF awardees, I show that these three bioethical origins are interconnected and intertwined with the concept of RRI.
