Making science engaging is vital work, but fraught with challenges. How do you stay relevant in your local community? How do you ensure activities are designed in a way that places the needs and preferences of multiple target audiences at their centre? How do you find new collaborators and effectively expand your network? If you work for a science engagement organisation and need some support or just a little direction, this quick start guide to Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) will help. As a part of the RRI Tools project, Ecsite together in collaboration with members - AHHA Science Centre (Estonia), Ciência Viva - Pavillion of Knowledge (Portugal), Experimentarium (Denmark), MUSE (Italy), Science Animation (France), Science Center NEMO (the Netherlands), and several other partners including Relais d'Sciences - Le Dome (France), Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (the Netherlands), CCSTI Grenoble La Casemate (France) have developed a Quick Start Guide on Responsible Research and Innovation in science engagement organisations.

Reading the inspiring real-life examples in this guide will help you to understand what RRI looks like in practice, and how the approach can help you to develop or improve your own activities.
