Common solid conceptual grounds, now...
more communication and dialogue with
stakeholders!
“Responsible research and innovation (RRI) is a way to
align the outcomes of scientific research closely with the
wishes of society. This means that science and innovation
would be more focused upon finding solutions to the big
challenges ahead...”
