• Science With And For Society (SWAFS-WP 14-15)
• RRI as a Cross-Cutting Issue
III. Q&A
28
What is Responsible
Research and Innovation?
RRI is a process where all societal actors (researchers, citizens, policy makers, business) work together during the whole R&I process in order to align R&I outcomes
to the values, needs and expectations of European society
29
What is Responsible
Research and Innovation?
RRI is a Cross-Cutting Issue in Horizon 2020

31
Cross-cutting issues and support measures in Horizon 2020 [in Annex I: Broad lines of the specific objectives and activities] Cross-cutting issues, an indicative list of which is found in Article 14, will be promoted between specific objectives of the three priorities as necessary to develop new knowledge, key competences and major technological breakthroughs as well as translating knowledge into economic and societal value. Furthermore, in many cases, interdisciplinary solutions will have to be developed which cut across the multiple specific objectives of Horizon 2020. Horizon 2020 will provide incentives for actions dealing with such cross-cutting issues, including by the efficient bundling of budgets. … COM(2013)0624 20.12.2013 Official Journal of the European Union L 347/121 ( 1 )
32
Cross-cutting issues and support measures in Horizon 2020 [in Annex I: Broad lines of the specific objectives and activities] … Science and society The relationship between science and society as well as the promotion of responsible research and innovation, science education and culture shall be deepened and public confidence in science reinforced by activities of Horizon 2020 favouring the informed engagement of citizens and civil society in research and innovation. Gender Promoting gender equality in science and innovation is a commitment of the Union. In Horizon 2020, gender will be addressed as a cross-cutting issue in order to rectify imbalances between women and men, and to integrate a gender dimension in research and innovation programming and content.
