Activity and Financial Report on 2017 AEARU Workshop on R&D Policy and Asian Research Universities

on the theme of

“Responsible Innovation for Inclusive Growth in the Era of Global Inequality”

Hosted by KAIST Graduate School of Science and Technology Policy on November 3rd (Fri.) - 4th (Sat.), 2017 in Daejeon, Seoul and Sejong in Republic of Korea

1. Summary: 1) Name: 2017 AEARU Workshop on R&D Policy and Asian Research Universities 2) Hosted by: Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) Graduate School of Science and Technology Policy (STP) 3) Theme: “Responsible Innovation for Inclusive Growth in the Era of Global Inequality” 4) Date: November 3rd (Fri.) – 4th (Sat.) 2017 5) Venue: KAIST Main Campus (Daejeon) Korea Institute of Science and Technology (Seoul) Science and Technology Policy Institute (Sejong) 6) Overview: 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 has provided 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.
