In March 2014 a group of early career researchers and academics from Sao Paulo state and from the UK met at the University of Campinas to participate in a workshop on ‘Responsible Innovation and the Governance of Socially Controversial Technologies’.

We describe a number of important tensions, paradoxes and opportunities that emerged over the three days of the workshop.
