Project description
RRI-oriented institutional changes for European research-related organisations
The dissemination and application of responsible research and innovation (RRI) in the European Research Area is a priority. The EU-funded GRACE project supports this objective by implementing fundamental RRI-oriented institutional change in six research performing and funding organisations (RFPOs). With an intense mutual learning programme and a co-creation environment, four expert partners (cooperating organisations) support six other partners in implementing a set of specific RRI-oriented Grounding Actions. These actions will provide a basis for developing tailored 8-year RRI Roadmaps within these organisations to ensure their sustainability and full implementation over the long-term, as well as establishing a platform for achieving further institutional changes.
Objective
GRACE aims to contribute to the EC objective of spreading and embedding Responsible Research and Innovation in the European Research Area through the development of a set of SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-bound) Grounding Actions (GAs) in six RFPOs leading to fundamental RRI-oriented institutional changes during the project. For each RFPO, the GAs will be incorporated in a 8-year long “Roadmap towards RRI” to set a solid platform for attaining further institutional changes during the ‘after GRACE’ 5 year of the roadmap. The project will develop in a co-creating environment, via an intense mutual learning programme including the 6 partners implementing the GAs (implementing organisations) and the 4 partners assisting with their comprehensive expertise on RRI (co-operating organisations). A suited evaluation and impact assessment scheme will be developed to oversee and monitor the project processes and impacts, applying MoRRI and SDGs indicators, and SwafS KPIs. The project will consist of 1, Preparatory phase (M1-M10) designing the GAs and defining the six Roadmaps for the implementing organizations; 2, Development and mutual learning phase (M11-M34) where the GAs will be implemented; and 3, Stocktaking phase (M30-M36) ensuring the long-term (after project) sustainability of GAs and the preparation of a Guidance to support the implementing organization to successfully pursue the work outlined in the Roadmaps. A well-substantiated management system, and set of communication and dissemination activities will ensure smooth project implementation. GRACE is composed of 8 WPs: WP1 Ethics; WP2 Management; WP3 Governance and mutual learning; WP4-5-6 GAs related to citizen engagement in science, science education and open access, and gender equality, research ethics and integrity, respectively; WP7 Evaluation and Impact Assessment of GAs; WP8 Outreach, communication, dissemination and exploitation. The project involves 10 partners from 9 EC member states.
