Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) aimed to bring together researchers, citizens, policy makers, businesses and educators to cooperate during the entire research and innovation process in order to align the outcomes of research with the values and needs of society.

RRI is a cross-cutting issue in the European Commission Framework Programmes. Its ultimate ambition is to address the great challenges of our time (climate change, energy, health, etc.) and to encourage smart, sustainable and inclusive growth in Europe. It is still an emerging concept and, in order to implement RRI, concrete tools are needed.

This project developed a Toolkit to help in the implementation of Responsible Research and Innovation in Europe. Collaborating with all stakeholders, it created a Community of Practice in Europe, which ensured the use, evolution and enrichment of the Toolkit.

The project officially ended in December 2016, and since then, the project´s coordinator - “la Caixa” Foundation - has brought its commitment to keep the RRI Toolkit updated and running and its dissemination channels active beyond expected. The website (toolkit) and social media remain one of the most importance sources on RRI.
