The second consortium meeting of the FoTRRIS project was held on the 11th-13th May 2016, after summarizing the results received from more than 60 in depth interviews regarding the topic of responsible research and innovations in EU and initiating a discussion and implementation of transitional experiments in \u00a0Austria, Belgium, Spain, Italy and Hungary. Transitional experiments will test and validate the FoTRRIS concepts and collaborative tools for collaborative RRI\u00a0 (co-RRI) in the mentioned countries. The meeting was orginised in cooperation with the members of Advisory Board, who shared their experiences about existing R&I systems and visions for the co-RRI.<\/p>\n
The Consortium is currently implementing the experiments. Different actors (such as researchers, business, citizens, politicians, etc.) will be\u00a0 involved in the core activity of the transitional experiments – the development of multidisciplinary projects, which will be based on bottom up approach, aiming to co-construct a shared vision, as a potential solution, for glocal challenges of resource scarcity.<\/p>\n
Collaboration between these actors will be realised through the newly developed online collaborative platform. The platform will provide innovative services to facilitate the interactions between stakeholders and to support knowledge actors to co-design RRI projects, communicate and disseminate co-RRI activities, results and storage of lessons learnt from past RRI projects.<\/p>\n
Transitional experiments will be finalised by five workshops in the partner countries presenting the lessons learnt from the experiments, underlying systemic barriers for co-RRI projects, impacts of co-designing research with the help of the web based collaborative platform for stakeholders, changes in the interpretation of the meaning of “responsibility”, “innovation” etc. whilst also providing the basics for development of the recommendation for further RRI policy development.<\/p>\n
Background:<\/strong> FoTRRIS is the EU Horizon2020 project developed in the frames of the “Science with and for Society” programme GARRI-1-2014 topic. The specific objective of the programme is to build effective cooperation between societal actors (researchers, citizens, policy makers, business, third sector organisations etc.) working 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.
