Forming opinion - But how?

A substantial element of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) requests the engagement of all societal actors. The change from isolated research to research with shared responsibilities is a long process that requires substantial change of attitudes. But change can be difficult: resistance, uncertainty, aversion to risk, and even fear can accompany the challenge of publicly debating new emerging technologies. Thus it is vital to launch effective processes of engagement. But how can that this be done? How can opinion forming be supported without being influenced? How can education contribute to opinion forming and critical thinking? This interactive workshop will compare learnings from several projects and will give participants the chance to examine their own processes, projects and ideas.
