Editor's Notes
- Added apart from the original script: RRI Tools is a 3-year (2014-2016) project funded by the EU’s 7th Framework Program. Our Consortium consists on 26 partners forming 19 Hubs, which cover 30 countries of the European Research Area (ERA). The main goal and outcome of our project is to develop a Training and Dissemination Toolkit on Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). This Toolkit aims to foster RRI by helping all stakeholders involved in the R&I system to put RRI into practice all across Europe. For this reason, several calls of the Horizon2020 Framework Program explicitly request that the proposals are linked with RRI Tools and its Toolkit.
- Added: The RRI Tools Consortium includes research centers, universities and education institutions, science museums, foundations, and research funding institutions and societies. In addition to the 19 regional Hubs, 5 networks will help spreading RRI among businesses and industries, civil society organizations, schools, science centers, research societies, and foundations all across Europe.
- Slightly modified from script: Why: As a society, we face all sorts of grand challenges, i.e. challenges that are complex and whose outcomes are uncertain - from healthy ageing to sustainability, from global health to resource security. The European Commission has identified 7 of them and called them ‘the Grand Challenges’ of our time (sustainable transport, sustainable agriculture, climate action and resource efficiency, clean energy, global poverty, inclusive and secure societies, and health and wellbeing). Extra information for moderator: Remember to open the debate / scope of RRI beyond the grand challenges: there are other research fields where RRI also may play (or not) a role, but which clearly belong to science (e.g., particle physics, paleontology, astronomy…).
- Added: Research and innovation have the power to tackle these challenges and provide solutions for some of the problems we face (picture: robocare; robots take over (some) tasks of health care providers). Moreover, innovations affect all of us. For example, smart phones altered the lives of many; they changed our view of communication and the expectations we have of others regarding communication. The fact that we all are affected by changing technologies also means that we need to be sensitive towards the needs of society and various groups within society. This is especially because the success of R&I in meeting the Grand Challenges is not guaranteed. Many innovations fail, have unexpected (negative) consequences and are controversial. For example, ‘the formula that killed Wall Street’, originally developed to quickly assess risks, has ultimately been blamed to be one of the causes of the financial crisis. Also, the so-called “golden rice” was developed with the goal of producing a fortified food to be grown and consumed in areas with a shortage of dietary vitamin A, but met with strong opposition towards GMOs. Moreover, some societal needs are obviously not met (e.g., neglected diseases or neglected groups). Responsible research and innovation seeks to bring these issues into the open. It opens up the discussion about what goals we want to reach as a society and by what means we want to do so to as many participants as possible, since all of our society is affected by them.

- Added: If we think of the R&I chain as linear, implementation and practice become divorced from the process of research and innovation, and we run the risk that this negatively impacts on the potential success of the latter.
- Added: By joining hands and incorporating the views and knowledge of all sorts of stakeholders into early stages of the R&I chain, innovations will be much more tailored to the needs of society.
- See script Extra information for moderator: Remember: there are also areas where actors do not necessarily need to be RRI, but institutions do!
- Added: The outcomes can be categorized in three clusters, and the process should fulfill a set or requirements (i.e., RRI process requirements). The clusters of outcomes we identified are (1) Learning outcomes, (2) research and innovation outcomes, and (3) solutions to societal challenges. We identified 8 process requirements, visualized in four clusters, viz. (1) diversity and inclusion, (2) anticipation and reflection, (3) openness and transparency, and (4) responsiveness and adaptive change.
- Slightly modified from script: During the last few months we have been working, together with all members of the RRI Tools project, on a working definition of RRI. Defining what RRI is will be a continuous challenge, as this is as much an iterative process as doing RRI is. In this process, we want to involve you. For now, we propose the following definition of RRI (see script and slide). But remember: RRI is a concept under construction; we can define what it is!
