1.‐ Responsible Research and Innovation 2.‐ RRI Tools, a project to foster Responsible Research and Innovation for society, with society
Tackling Societal Challenges Horizon 2020 reflects the policy priorities of the Europe 20201 strategy and addresses major concerns shared by citizens in Europe and elsewhere. A challenge‐based approach will bring together resources and knowledge across different fields, technologies and disciplines, including social sciences and the humanities. Funding will be focused on the following challenges: ‐ Health, demographic change and wellbeing; ‐ Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research, and the bio‐economy ‐ Secure, clean and efficient energy; ‐ Smart, green and integrated transport; ‐ Inclusive, innovative and secure societies; ‐ Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials
“We need ambition at a policy level to support the best science for the world and not just the best science in the world” Morten Østergaard “Science in Dialogue Conference”. Opening session. Denmark “The dialogue between science and society has never been so important”. Márie Geogheagan‐Quinn, European Commissioner for Research, Innovation and Science

Education Gender equality • For every male member of a commitee of seven, a woman candidate has 14% less chance of being promoted than a male candidate. (Spanish study) • Between 1997 and 2000, ten drugs were withdrawn from the US market because of life‐ threatening health effects – four of this were more dangerous to woman. Part of the problem is that preclinical research uses primarly male animals Structural change in research institutions: Enhancing excellence, gender equality and efficiency in research and innovation. EC.
What is the level of involvement citizens should have when it • 77% of Europeans comes to decisions made about science and technology? believe that science Answer: Public dialogue is required (Req: 55% ‐ Not Req: 37%) and technology have a positive impact in society • 62% agree that science makes our way of life change too fast • 55% think that public dialogue is required when it comes to decisions made about science and technology Special Eurobarometer 401. Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), Science and Technology
ESF Science Policy Briefing 50
Responsible Research and Innovation “RRI is a transparent, interactive process, by which societal actors and innovators become mutually responsive to each other with a view to the (ethical) acceptability, sustainability and societal desirability of the innovation process and its marketable products (in order to allow a proper embedding of scientific and technological advances in our society)” (Von Shomberg definition) RRI DIMENSIONS: Anticipatory, reflective, deliberative, responsive. (Owen et al. framework)
La RRI tiene 5 componentes: Public Engagement • “Escojamos juntos, diseñemos la ciencia para y con la sociedad”: Hay que involucrar a toda la sociedad en los procesos de Gender equality Education investigación e innovación. • “Desarrollemos todo el potencial”: Todos – tanto hombres como mujeres‐ deben estar a bordo. Se ha de afrontar la infra‐ representación de la mujer en la ciencia. Ethics Open access • “Aprendizaje creativo, ideas frescas”: Hay que fomentar las vocaciones científicas. Se ha Governance de mejorar el proceso de educación desde las edades más tempranas. • “Hagamos lo correcto y hagámoslo bien”: La sociedad europea se basa en valores compartidos. Hay que respetar los derechos fundamentales. El 4º componente es la Ética • “Compartamos los resultados para avanzar” El acceso abierto a los resultados debe ser una realidad.

RRI Tools will help transform Research and Innovation in Europe into a process targeted at the grand challenges of our time (science for society) where deliberation and reflection are coupled with action (science with society) by training science leaders in the RRI process and by raising awareness of the concept through Europe.
