These and other questions are at the heart of the Self-Reflection Tool on Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), developed by ZSI together with its project partners (RRI Tools, NewHoRRIzon). The booklet supports researchers and innovators in reflecting on how to design and implement research and innovation processes that lead to meaningful, inclusive and responsible outcomes.
The tool is structured around the six key dimensions of RRI: ethics, gender equality, governance, open access, public engagement, and science education.
Use the questions to reflect on your own practices, identify areas for improvement, and strengthen responsibility throughout your research and innovation process.
