Venue: Institute of Economic Growth (IEG), University of Delhi Enclave, Delhi-110007

Dates: 8-9 March 2018

Call for Papers

After the extensive work of Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, there has been significant increase in institutional interventions to conserve the natural ecosystems and to restore the loss to the ecosystems, wherever possible, so that the ecosystem services start benefi ting the people, especially the population at the margins. In India, interventions under developmental schemes like MGNREGA and climate adaptation/mitigation schemes are directly contributing to restoration of ecosystems and natural resource base of rural areas. However, the ultimate impact of these schemes on well-being of people is yet to be showcased. This seminar intends to showcase such evidences, if any. Good research papers showing strong evidence that ecosystem restoration have improved or have potential for improving the well-being of people, the enabling/limiting institutions, the cobenefits, etc. can provide valuable policy perspective to attain the important SDG of poverty reduction. 

Theoretical and Empirical Papers are invited on the following areas: 

(i) Ecosystem restoration, rural livelihood, migration and poverty; (ii) Ecosystem management, synergy and tradeoffs; (iii) Ecosystem valuation; (iv) Corporate Social Responsibility and livelihood. 

Limited number of high quality and policy relevant papers with a clear cut message will be accepted for presentation at the seminar. Boarding, lodging and IIIrd AC train fare will be provided to paper presenters. Please send your papers to ecosystem_seminar@iegindia.org. For other details please visit www.iegindia.org

Book Chapter "Responsible Innovation: A New Approach to Address the Theoretical Gaps for Innovating in Emerging E-Mobility Sector" | by Shilpa Mishra & Rajbeer Singh

Responsible Innovation: A New Approach to Address the Theoretical Gaps for Innovating in Emerging E-Mobility Sector

by Shilpa Mishra & Rajbeer Singh

In: Governance and Sustainability of Responsible Research and Innovation Processes. SpringerBriefs in Research and Innovation Governance. Springer, Cham. DOI: 10.1007/978-3-319-73105-6_12

Abstract

Sustainability along with being an 'after-work' of technology has become more about solving the problems and issues which pave way for a robust approach towards social and technological development. The emerging technologies are promising to fulfil the need of society alongside they have also posed tremendous challenges in the form of new emerging risks, unforeseen impacts, governance, ensuring accountability for results of adoption and sustainability. The existing approaches towards innovation such as NIS, SIS, TIS, sustainable innovation, and transitions are unable to address issues of long-term future impacts and issues of accountability, sustainability, and risks from innovators as well as consumers point of view. The new approach of responsible innovation claims to address the above-mentioned issues through bridging the existing gaps in the theories of innovation. Therefore, this paper focuses on two research questions, how the deliberation and participation enabled adoption of new technology? What are the different values embedded by the e-mobility (e-rickshaw) innovation that shapes it as a responsible innovation? To address these questions a case study "adoption of e-rickshaws in Delhi" has been selected. It was observed that RI approach enables us to understand the process of innovation for emerging technology in mobility area i.e. adoption of e-rickshaw in Delhi. The two dimensions of responsible innovation enable us to understand that how the process of innovation unfolded and how values have been embedded in innovation and the understanding can be used for innovating in newly emerging areas of technology.

Given the challenges that lie ahead in India's S & T programmes, this training capsule will aim to equip those planning careers in science and technology and related areas. Similarly, the course will dwell on how S&T policies are formulated when government and the society/public look increasingly to experts to do more for the society than conduct research and produce knowledge. This training program will impart sufficient knowledge to participants so that they can contribute to decision making related to S & T issues in public, private and civic settings.

Course Outline: The training programme includes lectures by eminent speakers, presentations by the participants, group discussions, project work, week end technical visits, public lectures, cultural programme, 'Yoga' practice from health point of view and feedback. The defining feature of lecture pattern in our courses consists of interactive sessions with distinguished faculty drawn from different organizations and occupations. The general format is a presentation for 45 minutes followed by lively discussions for 45 minutes. The participants would be encouraged to interact as widely as possible with the speakers.

The course will address broadly the following topics: Origin, evolution and history of science policy; Role of government in regulating, promoting and financing science; Science and Ethics; Science and IPR; S&T in advancement of national goals; Science and Diplomacy; Science and gender; Influence of social, cultural and political forces on the production of scientific knowledge; Science Policy and Security; Science Policy, Education and Culture; Advocacy, Special interest or Action Groups in influencing science policies; Science policy in global context; India's Nuclear Programme; India's Space Programme: Moon Mission, Mars programme, S&T in Defence and Security; Science and Agriculture etc.

This programme is sponsored by Indian Council for Social Science Research (ICSSR), New Delhi.

Aim of the Programme:
Quality of social science research has been fallen short of expectations in terms of contribution to the better understanding of socio-economic processes and shaping of public policy. One of the major reason for this is the lack of adequate training on fundamentals of research methodology. ISID has been one of the pioneering research organisations promoting social science research in India through its databases on Indian economy, on-line research referencing of Indian Social Science Journals and Press Clippings etc. and also organising various training and capacity building programmes, conferences, seminars, workshops etc., and through other medium of dissemination of its research activities. This programme specifically aims to develop research capabilities of young social science research scholars from marginalised groups to strengthen their potential as future
researchers.

Content of the Programme:
Broadly, this is a multidisciplinary programme dealing with various aspects of qualitative and quantitative research starting from research design to writing and dissemination of research output. A week long programme consists of interactive sessions including lectures, group discussions, database familiarisation etc. The following are the key course components:
    Introducing the Basics of Research Methods;
    Research design: Identification of appropriate Research Questions, Effective Review of Literature, developing the conceptual framework, hypothesis formulation;
    Data collection and sampling methods: conducting field survey and field notes preparation, familiarisation of various secondary data sources, undertaking case study;
    Qualitative and Quantitative data analysis: basic statistical and econometric techniques with relevant software packages like Excel, SPSS and Stata;
    On academic writing and publication; and
    Practical sessions/assignments.
In addition, there will be special lectures by eminent academicians on various socio-economic issues such as industry, employment, education, health, poverty, inequality and other social sector issues. Overall, the programme intends to equip the participants to conduct their research more scientifically, i.e. with appropriate theoretical and empirical knowledge in a systematic way.

Who can Apply?
Young social science researchers and teachers from colleges, universities and research institutes belonging to the aforementioned social groups interested in pursuing research related to socio-economic issues will constitute the target audience of this programme. A batch of 25-30 participants will be selected on all-India level, based on suitability. Participants will get free boarding and lodging facility at the campus hostel on twin-share basis and to and fro 3-tier AC train fare by the shortest route will be reimbursed.

Application Procedure:
Interested candidates may send their applications (downloadable from ISID website: http://isid.org.in) in the prescribed format along with CV, 500 words write up in their area of research interest and a letter of consent from the Department/Institution/College through email to vsbeena@gmail.com on or before January 19, 2018.
