Item Challenges in the implementation of responsible research and innovation across Horizon 2020(2022-07-13) Tabarés, Raúl; Loeber, Anne; Nieminen, Mika; Bernstein, Michael J.; Griessler, Erich; Blok, Vincent; Cohen, Joshua; Hönigmayer, Helmut; Wunderle, Ulrike; Frankus, Elisabeth; BIGDATAIn the last decade, the European Commission (EC) developed an ambitious strategy to promote RRI across the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (H2020). This effort resulted in a significant number of European-funded projects that substantially expanded the available knowledge of the theory, methods and implementation of RRI. However, various evaluations and studies revealed a limited and diffuse implementation of the concept. In this article, we aim to shed some light on this matter with a study covering eight programme lines of H2020 (ERC, MSCA, LEIT, FOOD, ENV, SEC, WIDENING and EURATOM). We employ an extensive policy document analysis and 112 semi-structured interviews carried out with various stakeholders. We argue that the limited implementation of RRI in H2020 is the result of conflicts with existing values, science cultures, economic objectives, restricted resources for its implementation and a lack of clarification around what RRI means.Item The Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) Maturity Model: Linking Theory and Practice: Linking theory and practice(2017-06-16) Stahl, Bernd; Obach, Michael; Yaghmaei, Emad; Ikonen, Veikko; Chatfield, Kate; Brem, Alexander; Tecnalia Research & Innovation; Medical TechnologiesResponsible research and innovation (RRI) is an approach to research and innovation governance aiming to ensure that research purpose, process and outcomes are acceptable, sustainable and even desirable. In order to achieve this ambitious aim, RRI must be relevant to research and innovation in industry. In this paper, we discuss a way of understanding and representing RRI that resonates with private companies and lends itself to practical implementation and action. We propose the development of an RRI maturity model in the tradition of other well-established maturity models, linked with a corporate research and development (R&D) process. The foundations of this model lie in the discourse surrounding RRI and selected maturity models from other domains as well as the results of extensive empirical investigation. The model was tested in three industry environments and insights from these case studies show the model to be viable and useful in corporate innovation processes. With this approach, we aim to inspire further research and evaluation of the proposed maturity model as a tool for facilitating the integration of RRI in corporate management.
