Responsible Research and Innovation and the Sustainable Development Goals provide a framework for bringing research closer to the needs and values of society.
The European Commission has made RRI one of the underlying cross-cutting issues of its Horizon 2020 programme in order to enhance this trend and strengthen the societal impact of research.
OS is the movement initiated by scientists to make scientific research, data and their dissemination available to any member of society.
ResBios will embed Responsible Research and Innovation practice within four universities in the field of Biosciences
Responsible Research and Innovation, RRI, is an overarching policy strategy which aims to increase the intensity and the quality of the interactions between scientific research and society

Responsible Biosciences

 A Manifesto for the Transformation of Science-Society Relations

This Manifesto is rooted in the work that, for several years now, some research organizations in the field of biosciences in Europe, Africa, and North and South America have been carrying out on issues concerning the relationship between scientific research and society by using the Responsible Research & Innovation (RRI) approach, initially through the STARBIOS2 project and, most recently, in the context of the ResBios project.

This Manifesto was drafted by Wiebe Bijker (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, and ResBios advisor), Luciano d’Andrea (Knowledge & Innovation Srls) and Daniele Mezzana (University of Rome – Tor Vergata), with the collaboration of the members of ResBios Consortium and the ResBios advisors.

ResBios will draw on the expertise of 12 partners from 11 countries to bring sustainable institutional changes into biosciences research.

ResBios is coordinated by the University of Tor Vergata, in Rome, Italy.
