GRRIP

Grounding RRI Practices in Research Performing Organisations

GRRIP is working on embedding sustainable Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI practices) in 4 research performing organisations (RPO) and 1 dual-function RPO and research funding organisation (RPO/RFO) (total 5 RPO&RFO) in the marine and maritime sectors to achieve institutional and cultural change.

GRACE

GRACE (Grounding RRI Actions to Achieve Institutional Changes in European Research Funding and Performing Organisations) is a “Science with and for Society” H2020 funded project that supports the European Commission’s objective of spreading and embedding Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) in the European Research Area.

GRACE’s mission is to develop a set of specific Grounding Actions in six research performing and funding organisations (Implementing Organisations).

These actions will be the basis for the development of a tailored 8-year RRI Roadmap within these organisations to ensure its sustainability and full implementation over the long-term.

Project duration: January 2019 – December 2021

Project lead: European Science Foundation (ESF)

Resbios Aims

ResBios will embed Responsible Research and Innovation practices within four universities and research institutions in the field of Biosciences in 4 European countries, through the implementation of RRI Grounding Actions, to achieve sustainable institutional changes. The Grounding Actions will relate to RRI keys, they will dialogue with the MoRRI indicators and will be aligned with Sustainable Development Goals. The project is focused on the biosciences sector which is one of the crossroads in the relations between science and society and it is building upon the EU project StarBios2, which ran between 2016 and 2020, setting the scene for transformative practices and tested interventions aligned with these new science policy Frameworks.

Project duration: January 2020 – December 2022

Project lead: University of Gdańsk, Uniwersytet Gdański (Polen)

Co-Change

The EU-funded Co-Change project will apply an innovative systemic approach to boost the transformative capacity and leadership for responsible research through change labs. The project activates change coalitions around each lab, paying particular attention to interactions and dependencies of actors in each Research and Innovation (R&I) ecosystem, since research performing (RPOs) and research funding (RFOs) organisations co-evolve in and with the R&I ecosystems they are embedded in.

Project duration: February 2020 – January 2023

Project lead: AIT AUSTRIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY GMBH (Austria)

Gender Equality Academy

The general goal of the GE Academy project is to develop and implement a coherent and high-quality capacity-building programme on gender equality (GE) in research and innovation (R&I) as well as in Higher Education (HE). GE Academy will develop and provide a series of comprehensive training formats and tailor-made training materials for trainers, practitioners and researchers, making these available to the widest possible audience in Europe and beyond. The GE Academy, with its full capacity-building programme including different training formats (Train-the-Trainers, physical trainings and interactive workshops, Summer Schools, webinars, online Distributed Open Collaborative Courses), will be built and executed in at least 15 countries.

Project duration: January 2019 – December 2021

Super MoRRI

Scientific Understanding and Provision of an Enhanced and Robust Monitoring system for RRI

Responsible research and innovation (RRI) policies aim to support processes of transformation of the R&I system through better alignment with societal values, needs and concerns, and by encouraging societal actors to work together during the whole research and innovation cycle.

SUPER MoRRI will…

• establish an RRI indicator hub drawing in data streams from a connected network of projects, and creating a user-friendly, interactive dashboard, which will provide easy access for multiple stakeholders and allow for selective extraction of data based on user needs and interests.
• take a co-creation approach by involving a range of stakeholders for exploring, developing, testing, and validating and RRI self-assessment practice;
• interaction with international partners beyond Europe

TeRRIFICA

Adapting to climate change means anticipating adverse effects to prevent or minimise damage, or taking advantage of opportunities that may arise. The EU-funded TeRRIFICA project will review the state of the art in climate change adjustment models, policies and strategies. The purpose is to examine approaches to climate action, climate change adaptation and and climate change mitigation in central, south, east and west Europe, in urban and rural areas as well as in EU and non-EU regions. Applying Living Lab strategies, crowd-mapping and co-creation activities, citizens, local authorities and experts will be integrated as partners to develop and coordinate adaptation processes. The key policies of RRI will be considered to address Sustainable Development Goals. TeRRIFICA will set up customised guides and key performance indicators for climate change adjustment exercises.

Project duration: January 2019 – June 2022

TeRRItoria

The TeRRItoria vision is to tackle a double challenge: to bring RRI at the forefront of the debate for developing local an regional R&I capacities; and to use RRI as a springboard for broadening the number of stakeholders involved in the process for enhancing the regional research and innovation strategies under the framework of S3. The overall objective of the project is to experiment with the adoption of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) approach in European regional and territorial R&I systems. TeRRItoria is based on the idea that RRI approaches, policies and practices, developed so far at the level of research institutions, may be adapted to that of regional and territorial governance. Thus the project will contribute to developing what can be called “Territorial RRI” by developing a set of transformative experiments in 5 European selected territories – 4 regions and 1 municipality. The key objectives are: to introduce concrete and measurable changes in the R&I systems of the 5 above mentioned territories, so as to make them more inclusive; to introduce concrete and measurable institutional changes in the territorial organisations involved in the project, so that RRI becomes an embedded element of their planning process; to develop a better understanding of how RRI can be adapted at the territorial level and finally to contribute to the enhancement of the Smart Specialisation Strategy process through exploring synergies with RRI.

Trust

Reinvigorating trust in the data market

In recent years, the data market has been flourishing. A sharp downfall in trust towards platforms considered secure and privacy-aware, however, has hampered the market. This lack of trust has hit the data economy hard by limiting its resources to open data. This downfall is likely to continue if technical standards are not adopted. The EU-funded TRUSTS project aims to reinstate trust previously placed in the data market by developing a new platform using the experiences of two large national projects while also allowing the future introduction of newer platforms. The project plans to use this platform as a platform federator and start a thorough investigation into the ethics of the data market.

ROSiE

ROSiE is a three-year project funded by HORIZON2020. Its mission is to co-create with all related stakeholders novel practical tools to foster a responsible open science and citizen science. A consultation and stakeholder engagement through workshops and discussions with the Stakeholder Forum; creating and facilitating a community of practice to gather knowledge on Research Ethics and Research Integrity in Open Science from other European projects. ROSiE partners will reach out the research community and policy-makers, in order to co-create with them novel practices in the design, the preparation, the making, the valorization and the evaluation of science.

Project duration: March 2021 – February 2024

SOPs4RI

SOPs4RI (Standard Operating Procedures for Research Integrity) is a four-year (2019-2022), multi-partner project funded by the European Commission. SOPs4RI aims to stimulate transformational processes across European Research Performing Organisations and Research Funding Organisations (RPOs and RFOs). SOPs4RI will deliver an online, freely accessible and easy-to-use ‘toolbox’ that can help RPOs and RFOs cultivate research integrity and reduce detrimental practice. SOPs4RI will establish an inventory of relevant Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Guidelines that RPOs and RFOs can draw on when developing governance arrangements promoting strong research integrity cultures.
