Responsibility in Action (ReflACT)

15. November 2018 | 9:00 - 17:00

In many ways, science & technology have the potential to change the worlds we live in. Researchers are increasingly encouraged to reflect on societal benefits and concerns related to their research fields, amongst others by the principle “Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI)” that is increasingly adopted by universities and funding institutions. In this workshop, PhD students learn to identify and reflect relevant societal issues and concerns related to their research fields. Further, they will develop ways of acting upon these reflections in carrying out their PhD projects.

This workshop includes interdisciplinary debates with colleagues, a coaching on compiling a reflection dossier & writing a reflection essay and an incubation of ideas on what it means to act responsibly in concrete research practices. These reflective skills and practices are valued in many areas of contemporary labour markets (science communication, research PR, consulting, etc.), but also support a more nuanced communication of one’s own scientific research to different audiences.
