Abstract
The interrelation between the different challenge dimensions (social, ecological, economic, technological), is crucial in a post-COVID time to pursue responsible innovation. It’s very important to take into account the complexity of the intersectional dynamics in the design processes, also thinking to the behavioural changes of users that could facilitate the integration of ethics, gender, openess, and citizen science in the Research and Innovation Agendas of different countries around the world. The Joint Winter School “Design for Responsible Innovation” between the University of Bologna, the TEC of Monterrey, the Pontificia Universitad of Santiago del Chile has been the occasion to test a new global approach to learning and experiment new forms of education, based on a mutual exchange among teachers, students, and institutions, that constitutes new learning opportunity beyond territorial borders. In order to introduce a change in the existing mindset, the effort of the Winter School has been addressed to merge the different meanings that the Responsible Research and Innovation principles assumes for the various actors involved in the three territories. Prototyping within the students a set of tools/products/services, supported a new reading of the link between environmental, social and technological innovation through the lens of responsible processes applied to the themes of Gender Equality & Young Generations, Responsible Food Value Chain, and Active Ageing. The results achieved are the creation of a collaborative design process, the development of new knowledge practices, new ideas, capitalizing the collective intelligence of people with different backgrounds and cultures, mixing capabilities and competences.
