Abstract
The concept of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) remains a pivotal element of the EU's Science and Technology Policy, and is expected to continue through the Horizon Europe framework until at least 2027. Nevertheless, despite its significance, the concept of RRI is not clearly defined, with differing interpretations leading to inconsistent understandings. The relationship between RRI and the Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues (ELSI) approach is a topic of ongoing debate. While some view them as distinct activities, others perceive a degree of overlap. This paper examines the conceptual ambiguity surrounding RRI and proposes the "Conceptual Engineering" approach as a means of refining and clarifying the concept. This paper examines the evolution of the concept of RRI within the EU context and its relationship to ELSI. It proposes a framework that reconstructs RRI as "the activities that address 'ELSI as Issues' around specific targets in a way that involves specific attitudes". This conceptual design aims to enhance the practical application and evaluation of RRI, contributing to a clearer understanding of its diverse practices globally.
