Comprehensive advisory and support service in responsible research and innovation (RRI), designed for research teams, companies, or institutions that wish to develop R+D+I projects with a social and ethical impact. 

From a practical, critical, and collaborative perspective, and based on the European RRI framework, strategic support is offered to align research and innovation with current social, environmental, and ethical values: citizen participation and co-creation, anticipation and ethical reflection, gender equality and inclusion, scientific education and open access, environmental sustainability, and responsibility.

Depending on the needs, the service may include:

• Diagnosis of the challenges and opportunities for integrating RRI into a project.
• Support in defining teams, phases, and roles.
• Support in drafting proposals for competitive calls and project documents.
• Summaries and analytical reports with recommendations.
• Guidance in living labs to integrate RRI in real experimentation, testing, and implementation environments.
• Co-creation and critical reflection activities.
• Customised and practical training using in-house resources (practical RRI guide, activities, real-world examples) in various formats (in-person, online, hybrid).
• Partners in R+D+I projects (within national or European consortia).

The research group STS-b combines academic rigour and social commitment with extensive experience in integrating RRI, resulting from:

• Participation in leading RRI projects at a national and European level.
• Collaborations with public institutions, sectoral clusters, and foundations.
• Leadership in living labs in the fields of health, mobility, sustainability, and citizen science, applying RRI in environments such as hospitals, neighbourhoods, institutions, and social organisations.
• Fundamental research: the ability to analyse, understand, and formulate proposals based on rigorous work.
• Capacity to pivot processes in real time, support change, and work with uncertainty.
• Solid background in social sciences and science and technology studies (STS): expertise in discourses, methodologies, and conceptual frameworks.
• Academic authority and credibility as a university research group, independent from purely commercial interests.
