Expansion on the themes

Some tips from NARMA and Centre for digital life, Norway on including RRI in Your Project (in Norwegian)

How to comply with RRI in Your Project, by Ellen-Marie Forsberg

Advance and subsequent work

The suggested concept presupposes some advance work as well as some feedback after the course. Advance work by participants:

• Circulate 2-5 pages of project/plans/proposal. If the participant is in doubt – create a FRIPRO / ERC-like sketch.
• Read through the submitted (and rejected) proposal for AI Fertility
• Read through the submitted (and funded) proposal for Assisted Living
• Read the OsloMet strategy on Open Science
• Investigate local routines for handling breaches on research integrity and research ethics.
