RRI Tools Barcelona Conference

Research and Innovation Responsibles (RRI) are an emerging issue promoted by the European Commission which is being incorporated transversely from programs such as Horitzó2020 in order to rethink the role of science and innovation in society. But, what we exactly mean by RRI? What role can the actors in the system of science and innovation have?

The Conference will bea framework to present the first results of the European project RRI Tools, coordinated by Obra Social "la Caixa" in collaboration with IrsiCaixa. It will also provide resources to help implement our RRI environment. Experts from relevant key areas, such as open access, participation, ethics and gender equality will participate. Moreover, the Conference will provide a space for attendees to share best practices locally promoted.

The Conference is opened to the research community and research and innovation professionals, as well as politicians and directors of R+I industry, educational community and civil society organizations. The event is jointly organized by the Institute for AIDS Research IrsiCaixa, Obra Social "la Caixa", the Catalan Association of Public Universities (ACUP), the Agency for Administration of University and Research (AGAUR) and the Catalan Association of Scientific Communication (ACCC).
