Tackling Societal Challenges
Horizon 2020 reflects the policy priorities of the Europe 20201
strategy and addresses major concerns shared by citizens in Europe
and elsewhere. A challenge‐based approach will bring together
resources and knowledge across different fields, technologies and
disciplines, including social sciences and the humanities.

Funding will be focused on the following challenges:

‐ Health, demographic change and wellbeing;
‐ Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime
  research, and the bio‐economy
‐ Secure, clean and efficient energy;
‐ Smart, green and integrated transport;
‐ Inclusive, innovative and secure societies;
‐ Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials

Responsible Research and Innovation

 “RRI is a transparent, interactive
 process, by which societal actors
 and innovators become mutually
 responsive to each other with a
 view to the (ethical) acceptability,
 sustainability    and      societal
 desirability of the innovation
 process and its marketable
 products (in order to allow a
 proper embedding of scientific
 and technological advances in our
 society)”
 (Von Shomberg definition)

RRI DIMENSIONS: Anticipatory, reflective, deliberative, responsive. (Owen et al. framework)
La RRI tiene 5 componentes:

                                                                   Public Engagement
• “Escojamos juntos, diseñemos la ciencia
para y con la sociedad”: Hay que involucrar a
toda la sociedad en los procesos de              Gender equality                       Education
investigación e innovación.
• “Desarrollemos todo el potencial”: Todos –
tanto hombres como mujeres‐ deben estar a
bordo. Se ha de afrontar la infra‐
representación de la mujer en la ciencia.               Ethics                         Open access

de mejorar el proceso de educación desde las
edades más tempranas.

• “Hagamos lo correcto y hagámoslo bien”: La sociedad europea se basa en valores
compartidos. Hay que respetar los derechos fundamentales. El 4º componente es la Ética
• “Compartamos los resultados para avanzar” El acceso abierto a los resultados debe ser una
realidad.

What is a tool?

What is a tool in RRI Tools?

    “Stakeholdarized” tools

1. Self‐assessment tools: To auto evaluate performance on RRI
2. RRI Digital capsules: From text to video, guidelines on specific
   actions to “become RRI”
3. Good Practice Standards: Good practices with guides for
   application
4. Training and advocacy resources: Sets of instructions for trainers of
   the toolkit
5. Library: A repository of reports, papers, handbooks, books… on RRI.
6. Dissemination materials Leaflefts, posters...etc
