endeavours, demonstrate how Open Science and RRI can be used to foster
effective science-policy-society interfaces to support research and
innovation at various geographical levels, in Europe, foster socially
responsible citizen science approaches embedding the concept of RRI,
provide EU leadership in this emerging practice of science, within
Europe and in a wider global context.

base for policy orientations regarding innovation. This will facilitate
the dissemination and integration of good RRI practices thanks to the
identification of 'openings' for RRI. This action will strengthen the
SWAFS knowledge base, but also promote institutional changes in Research
Funding (RFO) and Research Performing Organizations (RPO), as well as
in and across organisations involved in innovation and its embedding in
society.
