摘要: EC policy reveals a strong conviction that CSO’s main function in EU-funded research and innovation projects is to take care of the ‘societal perspective’, which would not be adequately represented otherwise. With this, CSOs are supposed advocates RRI project consortia supported by all kinds measures fulfil this role. This only problematic due definition problems concerning CSO as such. Empirical data about role high-tech/high-innovation distribution activities among members reveal much more multi-faceted (data providers, providers access field, specific domain expertise etc.) than currently assumed. Furthermore, policies have managed sensitise other actors societal perspective: universities companies likewise active promote realise perspectives with really standing out them. These findings at least two interesting implications: (1) far offer being just ‘moral voice’ society innovation; their contribution beneficial many respects. (2) The even successful expected: it one actor type introduce keys elements consortia; we can observe something like diffusion different types them supporting work.
