Together with a wide-ranging group of R&I stakeholders, in these Social Labs, NewHoRRIzon co-created tailor-made pilot actions that stimulated an increased use and acceptance of RRI across H2020 and each of its parts. These pilot actions addressed a variety of R&I actors such as academia, business, non-university research institutes, research funding organisations, policy-makers on European, Member State and global level, civil society organisations (CSOs) and the general and specific public(s) as they arise from technological controversies.

Ultimately, the pilot actions contributed to R&I projects that fully recognise the significance of RRI.

NewHoRRIzon stimulated learning about how to accomplish RRI in H2020 and beyond in its Social Labs, in two cross-sectional workshops and two transdisciplinary conferences. It conceptualised and operationalised a Society Readiness Level (SRL) for R&I that focuses on the alignment between the processes and products of R&I on the one hand, and broader societal demands and expectations on the other.

What is in it for the Western Balkans?

The NewHoRRIzon project is now over after 4 years, but its 72 pilot actions, findings and policy briefs are still available. The following results are highlighted: virtual exhibition RRI.ex, the pilot action booklet, the Societal Readiness Thinking Tool (a presentation about this tool held at the CORRI forum is attached), resources on the project website, and a MOOC on the topic of RRI.
