In line with a general development towards more public participation also TA followed the “participatory turn” called out by Jasanoff (2003). She argues that more accountability of science is required by society and that this is most prominent in the demand for greater transparency and participation (ibid., p. 236). With concepts such as “Citizen Science” (Hand 2010; Irwin 1995) or “Responsible Research and Innovation” (RRI; von Schomberg 2013) the demand for public participation enters political programmes. This means, for example, that participation is seen as an integral part of research funding on the European Union level (e.g. in Horizon 202020). In von Schomberg’s words:Responsible Research and Innovation is a transparent, interactive process by which societal actors and innovators become mutually responsive to each other with a view to the (ethical) acceptability, sustainability and societal desirability of the innovation process and its marketable products (in order to allow a proper embedding of scientific and technological advances in our society). (von Schomberg 2013, p. 19)
