Making technology and innovation more inclusive is essential in the face of the current global challenges in the context of sustainable development. Responsible Innovation addresses ethics, emerging technologies research and innovation governance. Both, inclusive and responsible innovation paradigms, respond to overarching societal challenges, involve multiple stakeholders in innovation processes, and are therefore a promising way for organizations to contribute to the betterment of society. As an outcome of the substantial discourse in several scientific communities, a broad diversity of perspectives on, and tools for inclusive and responsible innovation exist, without a clear overarching framework or toolbox. This PDW will aims at systematizing these approaches and tools by presenting the principles and benefits of inclusive and responsible innovation, by providing an overview of approaches and tools as well as by allowing insights into challenges and benefits of their usage. In particular, it will cover open innovation, co-creation, design thinking, life-hacks, frugal innovation, and specific tools for inclusive innovation. Seven presenters will share practical experiences with specific tools related to inclusive and responsible innovation. The second half of the PDW will be dedicated to roundtable discussions with the presenters and organizers and will allow the participants to discuss and experience selected tools themselves.
