RRI is supported by five main pillars that mirror different commitments that are deemed to support responsibility in research and innovation: participation, ethics, equity, openness and education. Governance of research and innovation lies with those pillars and commitments. This report uses three case studies to propose a methodology that combines public engagement with ethics evaluations. We have called it “ethics dialogues” about science and technology. This concept implements a methodological approach that has been developing for the last years at the JRC, which attempts to make ethics a dialogical process, given the societal transformation that information technologies are co-producing. Through different social research approaches, the proposed methodology was used in three cases: IoT, RPAS and Wearable Sensors, investigating different ethical questions. }, title = {Ethics dialogues.
