Towards RRI Practices and Policies How to institutionalize the Responsible Research and Innovation approach: from theory to reality (TRRIPP 2018)

Responsible Research and Innovation is an independent trend in research and innovation policy. In the case of RRI. In this conference we will explore the relationship between science and the practical point of view: conceptualization of science policy interaction, case studies, and examples from practice. We are specifically interested in understanding the mechanisms of science and how we can learn from the science policy interface. furthermore,

In fact, there are still many barriers in public organizations and research institutions which implies a comprehensive implementation of the RRI framework in relation to evidence based policy making, the lack of public engagement, poor science education, ethics and governance. . There are many reasons for this situation, eg little awareness of policy makers and public administrators of the benefits of the RRI approach; lack of incentives and formal requirements to scientific bodies; lack of skilled and dedicated staff; not enough financial resources to tackle urgent societal challenges; bureaucracy and scarce coordination inside public structures; skepticism from policy makers about citizens' ability to take decisions for the sake of a large community.

This conference, organized by the H2020 MARINA project in conjunction with research institutions and policy making bodies, aims at collecting contributions focusing on what RRI could contribute and what role institutionalization of RRI dimensions by public administrations and research institutions

Evidence shown by practical case studies, lessons learned and best practices adopted in supporting and applying evidence based policy through RRI mechanisms and its institutionalization by policy makers, public administrators and research institutions and participated in the research and innovation process.

The ambitious outcome of the event is the definition of the RRI-mechanisms,
