Co-Create Change in Research Funding and Performing

Responsible research and innovation (RRI) implies that societal actors (researchers, citizens, policymakers, businesses and third-sector organisations) work together during the whole research and innovation process. The aim is to align both the process and its outcomes with the values, needs and expectations of society. The EU-funded Co-Change project will apply an innovative systemic approach to boost the transformative capacity and leadership for RRI. It will centre on the concept of change labs and focus on interactions and dependencies of actors in each research and innovation ecosystem. The goal is to generate transformative capacity for institutional change in terms of practices, procedures, rules and norms at individual, organisational and system levels. The outcomes will be analysed to produce a toolbox for RRI-related institutional changes.
