2017 AEARU Workshop on R&D Policy and Asian Research Universities Responsible Innovation for Inclusive Growth in the Era of Global Inequality Organized by the Graduate School of Science and Technology Policy, KAIST November 3rd (Fri) ~ 4th (Sat), 2017

Rationale Asia, home to the world’s largest and fastest-growing economies, has also seen the steepest rise in inequality over the last two decades. With the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) projected to bring not only benefits but socioeconomic risks (including job replacement and human alienation due to automation technologies such as artificial intelligence and robots), Asia can take full advantage of 4IR opportunities only with the inclusive growth approach. This workshop will provide a great opportunity for faculty and students of Asian research universities to discuss how to promote responsible innovation in order to assure the benefits of research and development (R&D) to be spread over the whole society.

Venue • KAIST Main Campus (Daejeon), Korea Institute of Science &Technology Evaluation and Planning (Seoul), Science & Technology Policy Institute (Sejong)
