Responsible Research and Innovation is a key cross-cutting instrument to reach these goals, an investment for our future. In practice, it is implemented as a package that includes multi-actor and public engagement in research and innovation, thanks to open access to scientific results, formal and informal science education and the take up of gender and ethics in the research and innovation content and process.

[[Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI)]] is a transparent, interactive process by which societal actors and innovators become mutually responsive to each other with a view on the (ethical) acceptability, sustainability and societal desirability of the innovation process and its marketable products <ref>Von Schomberg,Rene (2011) ‘Prospects for Technology Assessment in a framework of responsible research and innovation’ in: Technikfolgen abschätzen lehren: Bildungspotenziale transdisziplinärer Methode, P.39-61, Wiesbaden: Springer VS</ref>.

Gender Equality aims at removing barriers that generate discrimination against women in scientific careers and decision-making. It fosters gender balance in research teams and integrates a gender dimension in research and innovation content in order to improve the scientific quality and societal relevance of the produced knowledge, technology and innovation.

* ''Ethics'' is given the highest priority in the European Union funded research and innovation. It implies the application of fundamental ethical principles and legislation to scientific research and innovation in all possible domains and includes the avoidance of any breach of research integrity and ethics dumping.
