RESponsible research and innovation grounding practices in BIOSciences

Responsible research and innovation (RRI) implies that researchers, citizens, policymakers, businesses, third-sector organisations and other societal actors work together during the whole research and innovation process. The aim is to better align both the process and its outcomes with the values, needs and expectations of society. The EU-funded RESBIOS project will embed RRI practices in the field of biosciences – a sector at the crossroads between science and society – in four European countries. To achieve sustainable institutional changes in the various organisations, the project will implement RRI-oriented grounding actions (GAs). These aim to involve stakeholders in co-designing experiments, connect societal actors in the territory and inside research organisations and develop permanent spaces of integration with society.
