PRISMA: Responsible Research & Innovation in Industry

From pilots to CEN-standard

The PRISMA project has conducted pilot studies with 8 companies in order to help them to better integrate Responsible Research & Innovation (RRI) in their innovation process and business practices. These pilots have provided case studies and good practices on RRI.

Based on the experience with eight pilots and consultations with industry and standard organization, PRISMA initiated an upcoming CEN (European Committee for Standardization) standard for companies aiming at developing a strategy for Responsible Innovation.

This standard (also known as RRI-Roadmap) is aligned with existing standards and policies on risk and innovation management, and corporate social responsibility (CSR), such as the standards ISO 26000, ISO 9001, ISO 31000, ISO 56000.

PRISMA Roadmap

Based on the experience with eight pilots and consultations with industry and standard organization, PRISMA developed a practical guideline and standards for companies aiming at developing a strategy for Responsible Innovation.

The RRI-Roadmap methodology is aligned with existing standards and policies on risk and innovation management, and corporate social responsibility (CSR), such as the standards ISO 26000, ISO 9001, ISO 31000, ISO 56000.

Jointly with CEN, the European Committee for Standardization, further steps will be initiated regarding the roadmap. See also our press statement.

PRISMA Pilot Results: Cases & Best Practices

The goal of the PRISMA-project was to draw specific lessons about how RRI can be implemented in industry, ranging from small enterprises to large corporations to consortia with universities. To this end, the project included cooperation with 8 different companies in the field of automated cars, internet technology, drones, biotechnology, synthetic biology, and nanotechnology.
