From obstacles... ... to solutions
little knowledge on RRI
new, wide, vague, unappealing concept
lack of shared understanding among STKs
clear definition of RRI common to all STKs
more contextual information
lack of collaborations between STKs
networking opportunities
chance for new networks and partnerships
identifying with new groups
specificity of RRI for each STK
(different language, interests, benefits...)
RRI language difficult to communicate
introductory tools for each STK
context-sensitivity
lack of examples of good practices
knowledge on where and how to
apply RRI
catalogue of inspiring practices
how to bring the concept to life for each STK
lack of expertise and ‘soft’ skills to
implement RRI
training and guidance on how to ‘do’ RRI
little knowledge about PAs except for
public participation
holistic view of RRI
lack of resources (money, time, staff...) access to new sources of funding
consultations on the
stakeholders’
needs and constraints
The roadmap for the RRI Toolkit

12. |
• lack of resources and portals that cover RRI as a whole
• multiple projects
resources
toolkits
digital platforms

• most of them with reduced visibility outside their specific field

• Provide a holistic view of RRI
• Umbrella for other efforts and resources
• Variety of users
