The intertwined roles of science journalism and science communications are in focus on May 2, 2016, in a workshop where representatives from science journalism and science communication along with scientists reflect on their role in public engagement. A special emphasis is laid on science journalism: are science journalists part of the RRI process or outside it?
Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) calls for societal actors - researchers, citizens, policy makers, business, third sector organisations, etc. - to work together during the whole research and innovation process in order to better align both the process and its outcomes with the values, needs and expectations of society.
The aim of RRI is to create an R&I environment where societal actors and innovators are mutually responsive to each other and the (ethical) acceptability, sustainability, societal desirability of the innovation process.
Important components of RRI are science communication and public engagement.
Journalists and communicators are watchdogs and critical gatekeepers, but also mediators and communicators of RRI. How do these roles intertwine?
