Guidance document on RRI-oriented grounding actions
Luciano d’Andrea, Alfonso Alfonsi · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2021
This report (Deliverable 3.3) is aimed at providing guidance to help the six implementing organisations (IOs) successfully face the challenges connected to the development and the implementation of RRI-oriented policies after the end of the project for a 5-year period. In planning GRACE, Guidance has been considered necessary since, once the project will be ended, the continuation of the GAs initiated under the project and the launch of new ones will require institutional arrangements and approaches different from those applied during the project lifetime. Moreover, IOs will no longer benefit from the systematic support of other cooperating partners. The document is organised into three Parts. Part One is aimed at extrapolating a set of lessons learned, emerging from the experience of IOs. This part is mainly based on the outputs of the three Mutual Learning Workshops respectively held on May 28-29, 2019 (Brussels), November 3-4, 2020 (online) and May 20-21, 2021 (online). The first workshop was focused on the concept of RRI and the design of RRIoriented GAs. The second one dealt with the issues of the establishment and reinforcement of the IO teams and the mobilisation of key stakeholders (especially researchers and leaders). The third mutual learning workshop supported IO teams to ensure the institutionalisation of the GAs initiated under GRACE and to define long-term sustainability strategies. Part Two is the core of the Report. It contains the description of the six Roadmaps towards RRI, i.e., the strategies and a general plan of activities to be carried out by each IO after the 5- year period after the end of GRACE. This period has been operationally organised in two parts, i.e., a 2-year Post-project period (2022-2023) and a 3-year Consolidation period (2024-2026). A preliminary version of the Roadmaps was already included in D3.1 (Definition of GAs and Roadmaps towards RRI), delivered in November 2019. This first version has been discussed in the framework of the Third Mutual Learning Workshop (May 2021), to be strongly revised by IOs between July and October 2021. This process has been developed with the support of K&I and SEERC as well as the contribution of other cooperating organisations. Part Three is shorter in comparison to the previous ones. It contains a set of resources on RRI in general and RRI keys.
