Responsible research & innovation (RRI) Project directory

COMPASS has compiled an overview of RRI projects and initiatives carried out in Europe over the course of the past ten years. The COMPASS project directory below contains 130 publicly funded RRI projects in Europe. Our project directory aims to facilitate the search for RRI projects in Europe. You can download search instructions here.

For a quick look at the key figures check out our factsheet. For a detailed outline, have a look at the COMPASS policy paper, which maps out approaches, objectives and thematic priorities of publicly funded RRI projects at European level, and describes their spread across Europe via budget shares and numbers of participations.

You can find more information, results and project output on responsible innovation in the European Commission’s database CORDIS, as well as the RRI Toolkit!

Over the course of the project, it has become evident that rules, regulations and funding criteria could function as external incentives to implement responsible innovation in SMEs. The Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU), as coordinator of the COMPASS project, has therefore developed recommendations for EU research and innovation policy, with support of the COMPASS High Level Expert Advisory Board.

GREAT

Project Acronym: GREAT
Project Title: Governance of REsponsible innovATion
Funding Programme: FP7
Link: https://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/106794/reporting/en
Responsible Innovation Dimension: ,
Description: The GREAT project will develop an empirically based and theoretically sound model of the role of responsible research and innovation governance. The project will explore the dynamics of participation in research and innovation, and investigate the characteristics of responsible practices. It will investigate the nature of new partnerships among various stakeholders, researchers and policymakers that are developing within innovation networks and the influence that these developments have on knowledge production and policy. This will be done a. by determining the characteristics of research and innovation b. involving diverse groupings and c. determining the social processes involved in responsible research and innovation practices. In doing so, the GREAT project will address all three issues requested in the call: a. It will explore the knowledge and research potential of multi-stakeholder approaches in research; b. it will investigate how responsible innovation is involved in research processes and c. it will use this knowledge to inform policy makers on how to integrate responsible innovation in further research activities.
