ABSTRACT
This chapter describes a concrete future-oriented evaluation approach for integrating Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) into innovation activity. The dominating character of the model is co-creation, which essentially defines the values and operational goals of the innovation activity. At best, the process forms a loop of continuous learning in which participating organizations and persons learn from each other during the evaluation process. Assessing the acceptability and desirability of an innovation or development takes place in a dialogic process of anticipating the impacts and outcomes of the innovation. However, implementing the model is not without its challenges. For instance, the concept of stakeholder may turn out to be obsolete in describing symbiotic relationships in innovation ecosystems or in global interaction. Neither is balancing between different values and avoidance of value relativism or dominance easy.
