PROSO Project

ment of third sector organizations (like NGOs) and citizens for Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). RRI seeks to align the processes and outcomes of research and innovation with the values, needs, and expectations of European society. This requires multi-actor and public engagement initiatives in research and innovation. Societal engagement has been identified as one of five keys of RRI. Five keys of RRI:
» Engagement
» Science education
» Open access
» Ethics
» Gender

In the PROSO project we ask: What must be done to involve civil society organizations and citizens in research and innovation? To answer, the project will investigate barriers and incentives for engagement and develop policy and governance options for encouraging societal engagement for RRI in Europe. We will carry out an analysis that cuts across three domains of research and innovation:
» nanotechnology
» food and health
» bio-economy
