RRI Tools

RRI Tools aimed at raising awareness, training, and disseminating and implementing Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). RRI is a process where all societal actors (researchers, citizens, policy makers, business) work together during the whole research and innovation (R&I) process in order to align its outcomes to the values, needs and expectations of European society.

RRI Tools was a three year long project funded under the European Commission (EC) Seventh Framework Programme (FP7 2007-2013) to foster Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) in Europe with a view to a harmonious and efficient relationship between science and European society.

RRI is encompassing 6 fields relating to R&I: public engagement, formal and informal education to science, gender equality, ethics, the open access to scientific results and R&I governance itself.

The RRI Tools project had a budget of 7 million Euros and counted on the collaboration of 26 institutions reaching 30 countries all over Europe. It developed an innovative and creative set of tools comprising practical digital resources and actions aimed at raising awareness, training, disseminating and implementing RRI. It was addressed and designed by all stakeholders of the R&I chain of value but especially focused on policy makers in order to impact significantly the future of R&I governance. Tools are based on collective reflection and built on good RRI existing practices.

 

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 612393
