Folge 7 - Who is responsible here? (RRI@RFOs)

Episode #7 looks at responsibility in research and innovation
with a special focus on research funding organisations (RFOs). We
had the opportunity to join an event with a panel discussing
implications of responsibility, particularly against the
background of our society's need to transform. We highlight a few
extracts from this panel discussion which took place on 6
February 2023 as part of the Final Conference of
Co-Change, a project working towards Responsible
Research and Innovation (RRI). The project was funded by the EU
within the H2020 framework programme and coordinated by Peter
Biegelbauer, Senior Scientist at the Austrian Institute of
Technology. 
In the panel discussion, the role of RRI for RFOs and the role of
RFOs in shaping responsibility was discussed by 



Barbara Lohwasser (FFG), 

Donia Lasinger (WWTF) and 

Tiina Ramstedt-Sen (Council of Tampere Region)



The session was moderated by Benjamin Missbach (WWTF) and
Caroline Lackinger (Co-Change project).

Since 2020, the Co-Change Labs have been working on
implementing institutional changes towards RRI. The Labs are
spaces for experimentation, where the members work to better
address societal challenges by boosting transformative capacities
in research performing and research funding organizations (RPOs
and RFOs).
