What tools and approaches can we bring together? What is the current state of the science in this area? What challenges are there for their implementation? What current areas of emerging science and innovation can we apply these to, and how? Who should take these forward? 14.10: Roundtable session How do you define responsible innovation? What key principles should underpin a responsible innovation approach? What have we learnt from experiences with this specific emerging area of technology? What role do you, as individuals, does your organisation / institution have in the context of responsible innovation? How should we proceed? 15.10: Rapporteurs feedback to plenary 15.40: Coffee/tea break Session 3: Innovation and emerging technologies: opening up the debate Nikolas ROSE (Professor of Sociology - London School of Economics and Political Science) Manoelle LEPOUTRE (Senior Vice President, Sustainable Development and Environment, TOTAL) 16.00: New technologies in society: opening up the debate Kathy SYKES (Professor of Science and Society, Bristol University) 16.20: French experiences in public engagement around new technologies Jean-Luc PUJOL (Environment and society, INRA) Roundtable session - UK and French experiences compared in the field of dialogue and engagement concerning new technologies: Phil MACNAGHTEN (Professor of Geography, Durham University) Dominique PECCOUD (Membre de l académie des technologies) What engagement and dialogue activities have been done in each country?
