QUADRUPLE HELIX EXPERIMENTS STARTING IN FEBRUARY 2018

The THA Chapter of Greece, together with the South East European Research Centre (SEERC), are working on finalizing the details of a strategy for organizing quadruple helix experiments (multi-stakeholder co-creation) aiming to test the incorporation of responsible research and innovation (RRI) within the institutional frameworks of each stakeholder.  These activities come under the EU funded project – FIT4RRI (H2020/SWAFS), through which the transnational partnership aims at testing various RRI governance settings and best practices in the fields of data mining, photonics, energy and material science.

The implementation of the experiments will begin in February 2018 in UK, Italy and Portugal.  For more information: https://fit4rri.eu/.
