Open Responsible Research and Innovation has a big potential in getting Europe closer to reaching its five Missions. It can produce huge societal benefits by nurturing more inclusive R&I ecosystems and by developing closer collaboration between organisations of different natures to create solutions that are aligned with societal values, needs and expectations of the citizens.

As part of the New European Bauhaus Festival, the REINFORCING project will be running a workshop on Open Responsible Research and Innovation. During this interactive and participatory workshop, participants will have a chance to discover practical examples of how public engagement and co-creation processes can be used in the context of EU missions and share the challenges faced in implementing these processes. The workshop will be designed using participatory methods to ensure all voices are equally valued and heard.

The REINFORCING project will offer grants of up to € 60,000 to support organisations implementing open innovation, such as societal engagement. This will be the third of a series of calls that the project is launching to strengthen Open Responsible Research and Innovation practices all over Europe and its Associated Countries. It will be addressed at organisations active in any of the five EU missions willing to tap into the power of open innovation but in need of incentives to undertake this journey. REINFORCING will not only support these organisations financially but also with specific training, capacity-building sessions, mentoring opportunities and peer learning.
