PhD Position Responsible Innovation Ecosystems: Shaping Technology for the Public Good - Delft, Nederland - TU Delft
Beschrijving
Job description
What does it mean to organise the ecosystem of businesses and organisations that are developing quantum technology such that this technology realises the public good? Innovation ecosystems tend to have technology development and economic success as the end goals of innovation governance. Less is known about the governance of innovation ecosystems with respect to ethical and societal concerns. Quantum Delta NL is the Dutch national quantum ecosystem that aims to deliver on economic competitiveness and on societal benefits of quantum technology development or what is termed 'quantum for good'.In order to achieve 'quantum for good', the ecosystem will need to align its processes and outcomes with societal needs and expectations such that quantum development in and by the ecosystem is acceptable, desirable and sustainable.
The governance of innovation ecosystems for the public good may be seen as the next step in responsible research and innovation of technology. The goal of this PhD position is to take this next step toward responsible innovation ecosystem development by exploring the conditions and interventions necessary to shape a quantum ecosystem in ways that promote 'quantum for good'.
In order to realise this goal, the candidate will engage in the following activities:
