Danube Framework for Responsible Research and Innovation using Socio-Technical Integration

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Danube

Date of latest update: 2023-11-06

Description

Description (EN):

D-STIR’s objective is to improve Danube framework conditions for innovation, by integrating Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) in the whole innovation pipeline. D-STIR is important for Danube innovation framework conditions. Innovation does account for socio-economic impact. Disproportionate economic development is reflected in R&I capital, expenditure and infrastructure. There is risk of political influence on R&I. Quadruple helix links are not common place. RRI can answer these challenges. It ensures that R&I is carried out in a socially, environmentally and ethically manner. RRI engages all innovation chain stakeholders in quadruple helix cooperation. RRI is result focused: encouraging innovation that brings responsible products to the markets swiftly and managing risks. RRI awareness and capacity in the Danube are limited. To take advantage of RRI benefits, innovation stakeholders require increased knowledge and capacity, concrete strategies and improved policy framework. D-STIR was designed to achieve this. In a context of exchange, the work plan covers strategy development (WP3), STIR adaptation and capacity building (WP4) and Transnational Pilot Actions (WP5). Management (WP1) and communication (WP2) support these WPs. The final output, Danube RRI Strategy, includes recommendations and concrete tools, particularly an adaptation the STIR (Socio-Technical Integration Research) Method. Transnational cooperation among complementary partners makes D-STIR possible. They work with Transnational Stakeholder Groups, gathering target groups from policy, academia, business (including SMEs) and civil society across the macro-region. D-STIR is highly innovative. It applies RRI implementation method across the Danube and in less developed regions for the first time. It promotes quadruple helix cooperation and continuous learning evaluation, to lead to the long-term expected change: an innovation pipeline based on cooperation, responsibility and competitiveness.

Achievements (EN):

15 partners from 8 European countries (Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Germany, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina) have successfully brought to an end D-STIR project, which has in the last two years worked on understanding and bridging the gap between the scientific community and society at large. Project addressed Danube framework for responsible research and innovation using Socio-Technical Integration Research and has connected technical experts with humanists in order to leverage maximal societal and business potential – i.e. implement RRI. As such D-STIR is extremely important for Danube innovation framework conditions, as innovation does account for socio-economic impact. Contribution of D-STIR project to Danube innovation framework conditions is extremely important as RRI awareness and capacity in the region are limited. One of the contributions of the project are Pilot Actions and awareness growing during workshops, project presentations and stakeholder’s meeting in the Danube region, emphasizing R&I to be carried out in a socially, environmentally and ethically manner. Besides project partners are emphasizing that RRI should become a horizontal principal integrated into all strategic documents, and it should be a criterion for granting funds in all programmes addressing RRI. D-STIR project was designed to take advantage of RRI benefits, as stakeholders required increased knowledge and capacity, concrete strategies and improved policy framework for innovations. This was possible with transnational cooperation among complementary partners, as D-STIR partners worked with Transnational Stakeholder Groups from different fields – policy, academia, business (including SMEs) and civil society across the macro-region. Another contribution to the region is RRI strategy for the Danube region that presents a single, strategic document with recommendations for academic and business actors in Danube Region, and consists policy recommendations for the managing – public authorities.

Expected Results (EN): Intensity of cooperation of key actors in the programme area in order to improve framework for research and innovation (composite indicator)

Expected Outputs (EN):

The D-STIR Main result (qualitative target) is to achieve expected change: Improved framework conditions for RRI in the Danube innovation pipeline. Transnational cooperation produces a Danube RRI Strategy that meets the region’s R&I needs. It contributes to DTP result indicator and helps to achieve change by: • Improved knowledge transfer and resulting commercialisation of responsible R&I results. D-STIR creates 3 transnational RRI stakeholder groups (2 pilot & 1 Danube level - total c270 actors) designed for quadruple helix cooperation; • 1 Danube RRI strategy and 1 tool (D-STIR Method) that put environmental and social challenges at the heart of innovation; • Capacity building among min.215 R&I actors. D-STIR builds capacity to apply a version of the award winning STIR method, adapted to the Danube, and uses its results in 2 transnational Pilot Actions (academic & business); • Improved RRI policy in Pilot entities (min.28), at local/national level (min.8) and at Danube level, with strategies, action plans & proposals to leverage capital for RRI. This main result will be achieved by integrating various project results into core activities of D-STIR partners and target groups. All the above quantifiable results engage D-STIR partners, ASP and representativea of target groups involved in the Transnational Stakeholder Groups. They will work together to define the strategy, detailing exactly how outputs (e.g. D-STIR methodology) will be used in the long term to achieve change.
