Regional Action Plan to support the governance of Responsible Research & Innovation in the Southern & Eastern Regional Operational Programme 2014 - 2020
What elements of this GP are included in the policy improvement presented
This GP addresses both public engagement and the establishment of a governance structure for managing better outcomes and analysis of the impact of embedding RRI into research practices. The influence over the S&E ROP will focus on enhanced governance and stronger public engagement. The SRA has recognised the need for additional reporting and governance and will adopt the approach outlined in this GP by enhancing the governance of the S&E ROP through refinement of reporting requirements from funding recipients and encouraging stronger public engagement and science education. This will require the engagement of all actors, most specifically SFI, which will call on the need for extensive public engagement. The good practices were initially introduced in a poster format at ILE2 in Athens on the 30th & 31st May 2017. This gave the opportunity to review the main learning points and arising from discussions with GAIN ascertain that the governance and public engagement elements of this GP were of relevance to the policy improvement being sought. Group discussions at ILE4 in Tampere, Finland on the 29th-30th May 2018 gave a more rounded and in-depth understanding of the GP and how best to apply it to achieve the desired influence over the S&E ROP. At each partnership meeting there have been ongoing discussions between SRA and GAIN on respective good practices submitted. At ILE7, which took place in Kiel, Germany on the 13th-14th June 2019, GAIN informed us of modifications being made to the GP. There was discussion as to what format this would take however nothing would be confirmed until the end of July. A meeting took place between SRA and GAIN on the 29th July 2019 in the offices of the SRA in Waterford, Ireland. At this meeting refinements to the ‘Shared vision and entrepreneurial discovery’ were discussed and shared and GAIN sought more clarification on the GP submitted by the SRA ‘Broadening the Scope of Impact’. It was acknowledged that Galicia and the S&E region of Ireland are at similar stages of development and as such could benefit in sharing work practices in the future. SRA and GAIN have agreed to schedule further meetings with the intention that we continue to build on this exchange of good working practices that has arisen from our involvement in the MARIE project.
