Researchers can register their interest to attend training on Responsible Research and Innovation, delivered by ORBIT (the Observatory for Responsible Research and Innovation in ICT). The Foundation in RRI course covers the foundational elements of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) including an introduction to the AREA Framework and the 4Ps of application.

Responsible innovation is a process that takes the wider impacts of research and innovation into account. It aims to ensure that unintended negative impacts are avoided, that barriers to dissemination, adoption and diffusion of research and innovation are reduced, and that the positive societal and economic benefits of research and innovation are fully realised.

The form to register interest is available here: https://warwick.ac.uk/services/ris/impactinnovation/responsible_innovation/orbit_training/.
We will contact everyone who has expressed an interest when a date becomes available.
