Project description
A global network for responsible research
Our world is so interconnected that addressing complex global challenges requires a collaborative approach and mutual understanding. In this context, the EU-funded RRING project has set out to foster mutual learning and collaboration in Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). It will establish a global community network. To provide a common ground for global advancement, it will mobilise a comprehensive Open Access RRI knowledge base in order to align RRI with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By embracing a bottom-up strategy, RRING encourages coherence and convergence. It also draws from best practices worldwide to create an RRI linked-up world through the newly formed RRING community. Overall, RRING's ambitious agenda includes promoting mutual learning, collaboration, and mobilisation of RRI concepts.
Objective
The overall project aim is to bring RRI into the linked up global world to promote mutual learning and collaboration in RRI. This will be achieved by the formation of the global RRING community network and by the development and mobilisation of a global Open Access RRI knowledge base. RRING will align RRI to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a global common denominator.
The RRING project acknowledges that each region of the world is advancing its own agenda on RRI. Therefore, RRING will not be producing a Global RRI framework or strategy that is meant to be enforced in a top-down manner. Rather, increased coherence and convergence will be achieved via a bottom-up approach, learning from best practices in RRI globally and from linkages, via the new RRING community, to develop the RRI linked-up world.
Six Objectives of RRING
Objective 1: Promote a linked up global world of RRI by creating the global RRING community network, thereby enabling mutual learning, collaboration, mobilisation of RRI concepts.
Objective 2: Mobilise, promote and disseminate a global open access knowledge base of RRI based on the State of the Art (SoA) and comparative analysis across the key geographies, all stakeholders and sectors. It will cover key platforms, spaces and players, role and influence of stakeholders, drivers and policies for R&I, regulation in public,private sectors and nation states and international organizations.
Objective 3: Align RRI to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to provide a global common denominator for advancement of RRI, and address Grand Challenges globally.
Objective 4: Determine the competitive advantages of RRI and also understand how and where RRI is perceived as a barrier and/ or disadvantage.
Objective 5: Create high level RRI strategy recommendations for the seven geographic zones, trial RRI best practice learning in 2 EU case studies
Objective 6: Promote inclusive engagement of civil society and researchers
