Opportunities, obstacles and solutions for Responsible Research and Innovation
This document summarizes a consultation workshop on opportunities, obstacles, and solutions regarding responsible research and innovation (RRI) practices in Europe. Workshops were held in 22 countries with 411 total participants from 30 countries. Stakeholders identified opportunities like avoiding future problems, transparency of results, and innovations; obstacles like unclear ideas of RRI, lack of financial incentive, and whether RRI could slow policymaking; and solutions like clear RRI criteria and roadmaps, funding for meeting places, embedding RRI in education, and mapping potential benefits for stakeholders. The workshops aimed to understand stakeholder views and discuss key findings.
