Responsible Research and Innovation is one of the guiding principles of European Research Policy, which considers research as one of the most important drivers of change in relation to the societal challenges that Europe faces. The course Responsible Research and Innovation, now in its 6th edition, aims to familiarise PhD students with the concept, with the purpose of enabling them to embed it into their research practices. The course will encompass the theoretical background of RRI, examples of the application of RRI to different disciplines, and will provide tools for designing research projects based on the RRI approach. Students will be actively involved in the course activities. They will be encouraged to share their dissertation topic with other PhD students and to participate in discussions through guided questions. A practical session on Horizon Europe will allow them to acquire the basic skills for project design.
