Opening Research Organisations in the European Research Area

Main pillar: 

  • Science with and for Society

Budget: 

3 000 000

Currency: 

Euro

Call deadline: 

Tue, 30 Aug 2016

Statut: 

  • Open

Description: 

Specific Challenge:

This topic focuses on the institutional changes needed to cope with the new interactions between Research Funding and Performing Organisations (RFPOs) and RRI stakeholders. Existing RFPOs become more “porous”, accepting inputs from what used to be seen as outsiders (extended peer review in funding agencies is an early example). There is a move towards “co-creation” (co-construction in policy and design phases; actual co-production of research organization and performance; co-evaluation of proposals, projects and programmes). Overall, at the macro-level, so-called quadruple helix formations might be emerging, RRI dimensions being an integral part of these developments.

 

Expected Impact:

The funded activities:

  • Will enrich and improve the quality of existing training materials on RRI and open science;
  • Will increase general knowledge on RRI and open science practices by sharing experience across different disciplines;
  • Will contribute to changes in RFPOs governance settings (including institutional changes and stakeholder behaviours) that are consistent with open science and RRI.
