The En-RRI project aims to rethink the relationship between science, technology and society through the production of empirical data, scalable support actions and guidelines to foster the integration of bottom-up co-creation initiatives in the framework of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) policies.
More specifically, the main objectives of En-RRI are:

• to produce reliable and empirically grounded knowledge of the social dynamics, material conditions and cultural views on science and society that characterize some emblematic bottom-up co-creation initiatives in Italy;
• collaborate with the organizers of these initiatives to create actions and tools consistent with RRI principles;
• translate this work into guidelines and other tools that can be used to expand RRI beyond institutional forms of innovation.

En-RRI will carry out theoretically qualitative empirical research on some co-creation initiatives belonging to 3 main sectors: environment, health and medicine, ICT, and digital production to achieve these goals.
In the project's final phase, En-RRI will work on translating the empirical results into implementable tools, including a "bottom-up RRI toolkit", to promote RRI practices and policies related to citizens, grassroots initiatives, and DIY innovation.
