Are we directing research and innovation towards desirable goals and a more sustainable future? Are we involving everyone who is affected, and everyone who can contribute towards reaching these goals?

AFINO is a network and learning centre for responsible research and innovation and corporate social responsibility, financed by the Research Council of Norway (2019-2024). Our aim is to develop new skills and methods to ensure that innovation is responsible, sustainable and just.

This conference will display results of the AFINO network project and encourage a broad conversation with international experiences and research with comparable aims. This will be a great opportunity to discuss ideas, achievements, challenges and point towards future development of responsible research and innovation and corporate responsibility in Norway and beyond. We invite researchers from all over the world and from a broad set of disciplines to join us in discussions on RRI, CSR, values, ethics, and transdisciplinarity with an eye to the future.
