Abstract

Science, by the knowledge it acquires through research, allows the ever faster development of technical progress. To achieve this, researchers like those responsible for work scheduling rely on bases de reductionism which for a long time has made science successful. Meanwhile, complexity and interdependence are likely to be at the origin of risks not perceived by society, and even less by those at their origin. The object of this essay is to show that it is urgent for scientists involved in the research in engineering sciences to be concerned about the future of the artefacts they create or allow to be created. To “humbly” achieve this objective, the principle of “Socially Responsible Research” (SRR) is proposed.
