This report contains the initial Delphi questionnaires developed for the four territories participating in the RRI-LEADERS Project (municipalities of Sofia and Thalwil, region of Western Macedonia and city of Sabadell). The report outlines the various steps that led to the development of the questionnaires, which were used in the three-stage Delphi study conducted in the four territories. The aim of the study was to ensure full integration of stakeholder views and allow validation of RRI principles in practice, while defining the scope of territorial RRI governance and policy implications for the future.

For the creation of the first Delphi version, a four-step process was adopted, consisting of the following steps: (i) Best Practice Analysis with Scientific Literature and Practice Literature, (ii) the specification of policy objectives, (iii) qualitative system analysis including the twenty main change factors with respect to the policy focus in each territory, and (iv) the development of a common structure for the Initial Delphi Questionnaires and a first version of the questionnaires in all territories.

The report first describes the methodology used to create the questionnaire and then presents the results, i.e., the Initial Delphi Questionnaire for the four territories.
