Responsible Research and Innovation By leading the work on WP6, BBSRC is not only responsible for developing a strategic vision for ERA CoBioTech, but also to generate a best practice Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) framework. For the research in the ERA CoBioTech area to contribute positively to society, it needs to be responsive to wider ethical, economic, legal, social, technological, political and other aspects. For this responsiveness to be effective, the key elements of RRI, anticipation, reflection, and engagement, need to shape the research strategy and research activities. BBSRC invites the bidder to interpret Responsible Research and Innovation in a way which works for this context and to explain their approach. ERA CoBioTech will have the knowledge and tools to embed RRI considerations into its strategy setting, grant funding decision making and grant monitoring processes and will support researchers to engage with the RRI agenda. This work will build on the extensive resources and learning already amassed around RRI. Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement.
