Background
Emad Yaghmaei is a postdoctoral researcher in Ethics and Technology at Delft University of Technology. His doctoral dissertation conjoined a strong grounding in Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) with an empirical study on the role of RRI in industry. By combining context- sensitive and empirical research on RRI principles, He illustrated how ‘Responsibility’ can enrich Research and Development (R&D) within companies.
His current research projects focus on RRI principles in industrial contexts to demonstrate how industry can work productively together with societal actors to integrate methodologies of RRI into research and innovation processes. As a response to integrating RRI principles in industry he has coined the notion of ‘measuring RRI performance in industry’: He developed a method to intuitively score performance on certain RRI dimensions. The scoring method builds upon earlier innovation quality monitoring tools and expands those tools with specific RRI elements.
