New project "Responsible Industry" has started [04.02.2014]

The kickoff meeting of the project took place in Brussels on 3-4 February 2014 at the offices of the UK Research Office.

The "Responsible Industry" project will design an Exemplar Implementation Plan of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) in Industry to demonstrate how industry can work productively together with societal actors and integrate principles and methodologies of RRI into research and innovation processes. To achieve maximum impact where it is most needed, the implementation plan will focus on the grand challenge of health, demographic change and wellbeing. More specifically the project will focus on the role that research and innovation in ICT can play in addressing this challenge.

"Responsible Industry" will guide interactive discussions between leading industry partners, established RRI experts, policy advisors and civil society organizations to drive the research and innovation process with the principles of RRI in mind.

The project is funded by the European Union under the 7th Framework Programme for Research (FP7). Coordinator of the project is the De Montfort University in the UK. Along with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology there are seven further European partners involved in this project.
