How to apply Responsible Innovation in your own processes and projects?

Our proprietary Responsible Innovation Roadmap methodology with tools is practical, applicable in your sector and it is people-centred. As every innovation brings change, this change must be managed effectively to guarantee successful execution. Responsible innovation will change your organisation's perspective and we are here to help you through this transition.

The Responsible Innovation Roadmap has been applied in sectors such as:
  • Circular Economy,
  • Bio-economy, 
  • Water,
  • Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem Nexus (WEFE-Nexus)
  • Security 
The RRI Roadmap is utilising Design Thinking, Change Management Approaches, Participatory Methods to:
  • Identify stakeholder and societal needs and map your stakeholders.
  • Motivate change and create urgency for transition internally and externally.
  • Build trust among the stakeholders and your customers to increase innovation uptake and innovation ecosystem building.
  • Involve all critical stakeholders to ideate and frame the innovation's scope and frame your innovative future.
  • Co-design innovative actions and solutions to ensure faster uptake of the innovation.
  • Co-construct actions and identify enablers and barriers to drive the necessary change and transition towards the innovation.
  • Measure and adjust your actions to ensure the faster innovation introduction and transition.
  • Intensify the innovation actions and make the innovation stick through wide awareness actions.

Responsible Research and Innovation continues in Horizon Europe

RRI is a European Commission initiative to make research and innovation actions more society conscious by focusing on:
  • Public Engagement: involve the society in research and innovation processes. Make them understand the challenges and ask them to provide their input, express their needs and engage them so that it takes responsibility of its future actions.
  • Open Science: Scientific results should be easily accessible and to be communicated in an easy to understand language;
  • Science Education: strengthen scientific understanding at all levels of society from young to older;
  • Ethics: Do the right thing responsibly for the society and the environment
  • Gender Equality: involving both men and women in research and innovation enriches the process and makes the results more relevant to the society. Create an equal opportunity environment for both genders.
  • Governance: Be responsible and accountable for your actions. It does not matter if you are in a public organisation, university, research institution, small or large company, you are above all a citizen and a human responsible for the society we live in. Take responsibility and accountability of our actions for a more sustainable environment.
