The TeRRItoria’s final conference took the form of a webinar series that took place on 18, 20 and 25 January 2022. The webinar series aimed to put forward the experiences gained within the 3 years of TeRRItoria journey, and at the same time shared some theoretical means as well as practical experiences that are useful to design institutional changes in territories to implement effective RRI principles into R&I ecosystems and governance structures at regional and local level.

The three thematic sessions

How to engage citizens in regional development policies
Institutional changes for Responsible Research and Innovation
The way forward

provided the opportunity to hear from experts in their respective fields, representatives from the pilot projects, and stakeholders with first-hand experiences in Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) and regional governance.

TeRRItoria final conference: RRI institutional changes for improved regional governance

European territories have certain tested experiences of advanced governance models to share. Responsible research and innovation (RRI) principles increased the citizen engagement on policies and is helping to design advanced economic development strategies. With the co-creation of policies with citizens, the governance of regions is becoming more complex and at the same time more effective and inclusive.

The Final TeRRItoria Webinar series aims to on the one hand put forward the experiences gained within the 3 years of TeRRItoria journey, at the same time provide some theoretical means as well as practical experiences that are useful to design institutional changes in territories to implement effective RRI principles into R&I ecosystems and governance structures at regional and local level.

There is a consensus among regional practitioners that future competitiveness will come from the double transition: sustainable and digital. This international conference brings together several experiences that have been approved by projects funded by the Horizon 2020 programme’s Science with and for Society (SwafS) calls. The international conference provides a framework for reflection on these developments and the way forward to provide an advanced legacy.

How to engage citizens in regional development policies, Tuesday 18^th January 2022 from 14:00 to 16:00 CET
