We hope this topic is of general interest and look forward to an engaging lecture with discussion afterward s.\n\nAbstract:\nIn recent years\, calls for responsible research and inno vation (RRI) have gained momentum across various communities\, particularl y in response to the rapid advances of emerging and disruptive technologie s. RRI calls for more than risk management or regulation: it proposes a cu ltural and systemic shift in how science and innovation are governed\, ens uring that their purposes and trajectories are ethically shaped and aligne d with societal values. In this talk\, I present and explore the role of ' responsible conceptualization' (RC) to argue that it should be a core comp onent of any attempt to embed responsibility in research and innovation pr ocesses. Scientific progress depends not only on data and discovery but al so on the clarity of the concepts that guide them. However\, in fast evolv ing fields such as neuroscience and AI\, conceptual vagueness often leads to confusion\, hype\, and misplaced expectations. RC addresses this issue by promoting conceptual clarity and accuracy\, elements that are necessary for productive scientific practice\, meaningful ethical discussion\, clea r and trustworthy communication\, and effective policies.\n\nNote: This is a virtual only event.
