RRI implementation
Challenge of RRI implementation
Explanation of the represented challenge of RRI implementation
RRI’s overwhelming conceptual complexity makes it hard to be implemented in a simple and concise way, much more if one is to represent it in an integral and comprehensive format.
The broad diversity of our research topics made us stunt and reflect on this challenge. We decided then to use our best skills and creativity, and then apply a little of everything we had learned during the course.
We found that implementation is playing along different voices that speak to each other, concepts that complement, values that describe... Our common challenge when implementing RRI was defined as the issue of dealing with institutions, which we saw as the cumulation of all this distress.
We found that we could describe the institutions as something big, strong, heavy – an elephant – collectively made of words in black and white. And approaching it, a little colorful bird representing RRI with hope, care, responsibility.
All made with our own poetry, music, and painting.
