Abstract

This study aims at providing new perspectives to the growing need of understanding the impact of some basic RRI principles to the quality of life of people, in their double role of workers in and citizens of a territory. It is still unclear, indeed, the complete mechanism that rules the improvement of innovation capabilities and behaviour when the principles of gender equality, privacy and engagement are applied to smart factories’ ecosystems. We propose a model based on the “ecology of innovation”, enabling the possibility to analyse the whole phenomena and dynamics through a homogenous and coherent vision of the whole applied-to-territory-innovation “system” and evaluate hidden dynamics that rule or support the scientific-technological-economic-policy innovation processes. The model is constituted by 4 domains and 45 nodes. The model could adapt different bibliographic sources into a unique patch defining the correlation among nodes and increase the possibilities to benchmark with real cases of application of RRI and CSR policies.
