Co-Creating Responsible Research and Innovation Activities: Experiences from the Western Balkans
The Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) approach aims to encourage societal actors to work together during the whole research and innovation (R&I) process, to better align R&I and its outcomes with the values, needs and expectations of society. Experience gathered in several projects dedicated to RRI1 shows that strategies and practices based on RRI can open up R&I to all relevant actors, and improve co-operation between science and society, fostering the recruitment of new talent, and pairing scientific excellence with social awareness and responsibility.
