The STARBIOS2 project has developed a model for how to promote the practice of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) in bioscience research institutions. We have published a guideline document based on lessons learned.
In January and February 2020, we held webinar training sessions. These webinars offered introductory training on RRI in the biosciences and how to achieve structural change. We now welcome you to watch them back. Here, you will find the recorded webinars filled with practical experiences of organisations that have implemented RRI action plans.
Through an iterative learning process, STARBIOS2 partners have developed a model that we are now able to share with anyone who is interested in promoting responsible biosciences. A sneak peak of what is in our guideline, and what we will be discussing at our final event.

WHAT IS RRI AND THE CHALLENGES OF ITS PRACTICE IN THE BIOSCIENCES
In this webinar, we present the STARBIOS2 project, what we did and why. We offer an outline of the model for RRI action that we developed based on the experiences form STARBIOS2 partners. We also share with you how bioscience research organisations outside Europe are practising RRI, and how they have used the STARBIOS2 model.

RRI IMPLEMENTATION IN BIOSCIENCE RESEARCH ORGANISATIONS: LESSONS LEARNED
In this webinar, we present the process of structural change towards RRI. Here, you will learn what kinds of RRI action has been carried out by European and Brazilian STARBOIS2 partners.

The STARBIOS2 guideline & model
The model was developed through an iterative process: Six European institutions in the bioscience sector have designed and implemented action plans to achieve RRI structural change in their own organisations. The implementation was part of a learning process, where the action plans generated new practical knowledge, that was fed back to amplify the structural change. Through this iterative learning process, STARBIOS2 partners have developed a model that we are now able to share with anyone who is interested in promoting responsible biosciences.
The guideline document represents one of the outputs of the STARBIOS2 project. The model builds on work carried out by the University of Rome Tor Vergata (Italy) that coordinated the work, Oxford University (United Kingdom), Agrobioinstitute (Bulgaria), University of Primorska (Slovenia), University of Gdansk (Poland), and University of Bremen (Germany). The teams received technical assistance from The Laboratory of Citizenship Science (Italy) Aarhus University (Denmark), Uppsala University (Sweden). The development of our model also included exchanges with experts outside the consortium, analysis of literature and documentation on similar experiences.
