The framework is not a tickbox excercise or linear set of tasks to complete, it is more of a guideline to help you consider RRI throughout your project or research and you may find yourself cycling through the 4 stages continuously.
Anticipate
…by describing and analysing the impacts that might arise
- Foresight, technology assessment, and scenario development
- Include informal, everyday decisions and discussions
- What if? What else …?
Reflect
…on the purposes of, motivations for and potential implications of the research
- Make visible dominant values: “holding up a mirror” to one’s own assumptions
- Pausing for a moment
- Systemic context
Engage
...open up visions, impacts & questioning to broader deliberation, dialogue, engagement
- Inclusive
- Participatory
- Workshops, focus groups
- Encourage users to reflect on their own assumptions; open up the design space
Act
…influence the direction and trajectory of the research and innovation process itself
- Being responsive
- Not ‘once-for-all’ – pragmatic customisation of technologies
- Adapt to emerging knowledge
- Institutional responsiveness and Corporate Social Responsibility
- Is there a need for regulation to maximise benefits and minimise risk?

We also need to consider the European Perspective ...
Bridging the gap between research and industry
BSI have created a set of guidelines called PAS440 to assist companies to consider RRI within their businesses.
