They also have the aim of making the RRI Tools project and the materials that it has produced and collected both visible and practically accessible to an audience as wide as possible. Workpackage 4 (WP) therefore builds on work done in WP1 – the development of a clear definition of RRI, the setting out of criteria for research and innovation activities to be considered “responsible” in the full sense of the word, and the compilation of “inspiring practices” that illustrate (aspects of) RRI –, in WP2 – mapping of obstacles, opportunities and needs for the various RRI stakeholders – and WP3 – the RRI Tools website/ Toolkit itself. WP4 has, by-and-large, fulfilled all of its objectives in a timely manner, with materials of good quality that can be used widely and meetings that range from one-on-one to close to 100 participants, with durations as short as an hour up to as long as three days. Where some adjustments to timing have been required, due to the overall Project development, it has not interfered with the fulfilment of the Project’s goals. It is also clear, however, that the training and advocacy resources produced under this WP could be much more fully exploited if future funding for staff and meetings were to be available. In the course of its work, RRI Tools has used a number of training approaches, developing new techniques to engage workshop participants, and to make the concepts underpinning RRI as accessible as possible. Advocacy discussions have ranged from civil servants and research team leaders and members to ministers responsible for science and education.
