Science with and for society

Science with and for Society
Gabriela Nava, UK National Contact Point
SwafS overview
▶
Build effective cooperation between science and society, to recruit new
talent for science and to pair scientific excellence with social awareness
and responsibility
▶
Implement institutional changes that foster RRI, for example in terms of
knowledge, behaviours, and spreading of good practices in public and
private governance frameworks, notably in RFOs and RPOs;
▶
Responsible research and innovation is cross-cutting across this
programme and it seeks to involve society in discussing how science and
technology can shape our future; putting the needs of ordinary citizens at
its centre. (www.rri-tools.eu/toolkit)
