This article explores the integration of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) principles within living labs, particularly focusing on engineering and innovation practices. It reviews the evolution of living labs over the last 20 years, their roles in fostering co-responsibility among stakeholders, collaborative knowledge production and directing innovations toward socially desirable ends. It proposes the concept of Responsible Research and Innovation Labs (RRI Labs) tailored for engineering practices.
