AB The term Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) is gaining currency across Europe and worldwideaiming a better alignment between responsiveness and governance of scientific knowledge production,innovation and citizen participation facing current grand challenges we are living. This broad and complexpurpose has been simplified with a normative framework involving six dimensions labeled as publicengagement in research and innovation, science literacy and scientific education, gender equality, openaccess to scientific knowledge, research results and data, governance and ethics. This paper analyses therationale and ways by which RRI is being introduced in science education field, including 13 projectsdeveloped in both formal and informal education. We apply a heuristic approach building on an extensiveliterature review focusing on Relevance and Responsible Science Education (RSE) and the recentframework proposed by Stilgoe et al. (2013), which comprises the principles of anticipation, reflexivity,inclusion and responsiveness. Our findings show a limited advance in both the understanding and benefits inthe implementation of RRI and the existence of fragmented initiatives where the concept remainsunderdeveloped. The uncritical implementation of RRI and the emphasis in ‘responsibility’ linked toresearch contrasts with the scarce knowledge of what innovation and ‘responsible innovation’ mean andcould contribute to increase imbalances rather than overcoming current barriers in science education. Theyalso reveal the opportunity to open up the debate on a number of aspects ignored or barely considered todate and provide some suggestions for new research avenues in the science education field. In particular,we propose to broaden the inter-disciplinary studies towards comprehensive scopes on the Nature ofScience, Technology and Innovation (NoSTI).
