D4.3 Blueprint for Institutional Change to Implement an Effective RRI Governance

The ETHNA System project blueprint summarises the most relevant practical recommendations for an institutional change necessary to implement and manage an effective RRI governance system.

On the following pages the multi-stakeholder consultation process is first introduced. Second, we summarise its main findings synthesised into a theoretical framework dividing the RRI governance factors into three main categories (structural, cultural and interchange-related). Then the Living Lab process is briefly explained, followed by the introduction of its main results where we summarise the key structural, cultural and interchange-related RRI governance factors that came up during the ETHNA System implementation at three different institutional settings. These three institutional settings are divided by two necessary conditions
required to support and implement the ETHNA System (‘base’ and ‘leadership’). The report ends with practical recommendations on how to bring an effective RRI governance to life and foster sustainable institutional change by identifying the right incentives and tackling the most crucial barriers with appropriate measures per various organisational types of RPOs and RFOs belonging to the three institutional settings.
