9. Special Eurobarometer 401. Responsible Research and
Innovation (RRI), Science and Technology
What is the level of involvement citizens should have when it
comes to decisions made about science and technology?
Answer: Public dialogue is required (Req: 55% - Not Req: 37%)
77% of Europeans believe that
science and technology have a
positive impact in society
62% agree that science makes our
way of life change too fast
• 55% think that public
dialogue is required
when it comes to
decisions made
about science and
technology

14. Responsible Research and Innovation means that
societal actors work together during the whole research
and innovation process in order to better align both the
process and its outcomes, with the values, needs and
expectations of European society.
(EC def)
The Responsible Research and Innovation framework
consists of 6 keys:

15. Engagement
Science
Education Ethics
Open
Access
Gender Equality

Policy agendas

amount
Relevant
voices
Is there a wide variety of
stakeholders involved, such that
there is a diversity of values and a
diversity of types of
knowledge/expertise?
Is there diversity in the
stakeholders engaged such
that all relevant voices are
heard – silent as well as loud?
Is there diversity within the
stakeholder groups involved in
terms of gender, ethnicity, class,
age and other demographics?
Are sufficiently many perspectives and
participants included, such that eventual
outcomes are robust (ScienceWise, 2013)?

Qué es
Investigación e
innovación
responsable (RRI)
• Es la apuesta de Europa para promover oportunidades y recursos para hacer
una investigación e innovación más alineada con los valores y
necesidades de la sociedad.
• Promueve la colaboración, la anticipación social y la responsabilidad
compartida basándose en un dialogo permanente entre los diferentes
actores: investigadores, innovadores, industria, sociedad y educación.
• Promueve procesos de la I+D más inclusivos, anticipativos, abiertos y
transparentes.
• Tiene en cuenta la proximidad de la investigación con la educación científica
y tecnológica desde las edades más tempranas, la igualdad de género en
las personas y en el contenido de la investigación, la ética en la investigación
y el acceso abierto a los resultados.
• Es un discurso y un elemento transversal de Horizon 2020, algunos de sus
componentes són normativos en el programa.
