DESCRIPTION:<p>Abstract:  This paper examines powerful\, yet uncoordinated world-wide movements amongst science funders and innovation strategists to direct publicly-funded research and innovation towards societal impact. </p>\n<p>Demanding impact in return for research funds is now a world-wide phenomenon. Terminology used in this context is "societal desirability" (European Commission)\, "bench to bedside" (Wellcome Trust)\, "impact" (REF\, UK) "broad impacts" (National Science Foundation US)\, "science for accelerated development" (China 12th Five-Year Plan)\, "responsible innovation" (Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research NWO)\, "translational medicine"\, and "translational ethics". An equivalent idea from the private sector is "shared value" (Harvard Business Review). </p>\n<p>Supporting all of the above wearing my policy-advisor hat (European Commission\, Wellcome Trust\, NWO)\, I will consider possible justifications for and possible objections against demanding societal impact from academic philosophers. </p>
