Looking at the future keeping one eye on the past. This is the leitmotif inspiring the Conference “Science, Innovation and

Society: achieving Responsible Research and Innovation” (SIS-RRI).

Under the auspices of the Italian Presidency, the Conference is an international event on science, innovation and society to

promote genuine dialogue and close cooperation between different stakeholders.

The Conference, promoted by the European Commission, D.G. Research and Innovation, is held in Rome from

November 19th to 21st, and is organized by the Italian National Research Council (CNR) in partnership

with the Agency for the Promotion of European Research (APRE).

The new millennium brought new scientific and technological opportunities, putting at the same

time new questions to be addressed. From DNA manipulation to GM food, from Big Data to ICT

surveillance: the Conference puts together lessons learned and future challenges, in order to

find shared solutions and common strategies.

SIS-RRI will explore these issues in light of the role played by the European Union through

its Framework Programmes and the on-going Horizon 2020 Programme. In particular, the

Conference will discuss the research carried out through the schemes ‘Science and Society’

(SaS-FP6) and ‘Science for Society’ (SiS-FP7) and the current scheme ‘Science with and for

Society’ (SwafS-Horizon 2020).

RATIONALE AND BACKGROUND

AIMS OF THE CONFERENCE

The aims of the Conference are to reflect on the experiences of the past EU programmes, to discuss the learnt lessons and, above all, to

explore the future needs and developments of the relationship between science and society.

The objectives of the Conference are the following:

• Garner analysis, recommendations and best practices of projects funded under SaS-FP6 (Science and Society) and the SiS-FP7

(Science in Society).

• Offer a platform for stakeholders from Member States and others to discuss further developments in Responsible Research and

Innovation framework. Best practice projects, policy analysis and recommendations will be presented in different ways. Speeches,

project viewings, discussions, active presentations and project results will outline RRI activities and will further discuss the role

which RRI ought to play in Horizon 2020.

• Federate the Science in Society Community and provide input for future collaboration within ‘Science with and for Society’. The

conference will be the first occasion in Horizon 2020 to bring together all the stakeholders that have met over the 14 year period

from SaS-FP6 to SiS-FP7. The aim is to federate the Science in Society Community thereby enhancing cooperation, mutual learning,

and facilitating the creation of new partnerships and communities – including beyond the borders of Europe.

• Present the international perspective of Science in Society projects over the FP6 and FP7, and further discuss and reflect on the

international dimension of Science in Society.

11.00– 12.45 PARALLEL SESSIONS: LESSONS LEARNED

During the Conference Morning Sessions, participants will have the opportunity to engage with high-level speakers on issues revolving around six main key areas that have been at the core of the EU concern in the relationship Science/Society: public engagement, gender equality, science education, ethics, open science and governance.In particular, the contribution provided by the EU through the Framework Programmes 6 and 7 (FP6 and FP7) will be discussed. More than 300 projects in the areas of ‘Science and Society’ (SaS-FP6) and ‘Science for Society’ (SiS-FP7) have been promoted and funded. These activities are crucial to a better organization of the whole European Research Area, especially in light of the fact that the Horizon 2020 Work Programme (2014-2015) has already allocated 91 million of Euros to the programme ‘Science with and for Society’ (SwafS-Horizon 2020).In each of the six considered areas, SaS-FP6 and SiS-FP7 have provided valuable contribution both as a way of organizing research and by promoting specific activities and academic studies. The same issues will be further explored in SwafS-Horizon 2020. The Conference will also explore how these issues have been discussed and debated in other parts of the world. What can the EU learn from other programmes connecting science and society? To what extent the methods and organization of the EU activities could be valuable for the programmes of EU member countries and for other continents?These and other questions will be addressed in order to set the basis for “achieving Responsible Research and Innovation”.

14.30 – 17.00 WORLD CAFÉ: LOOKING AT THE FUTURE

This dynamic communication method was chosen to introduce the future scientific challenges to be addressed within the ‘Science with and for Society’ Programme.The underlying idea is that the scientific community interacts on a daily basis with a large number of different groups: first, policy-makers and policy advisers, which decide the nature and the amount of resources should be devoted to research; second, the business community, which is looking for knowledge exploitation for its commerce; and third, civil society, which eventually assesses the potentials and dangers associated to innovative know-how and practices.The World Café will reflect these rich and complex networks, allowing multiple discussions on an interdisciplinary basis. Horizon 2020 launches new challenges for what concerns the integration of the scientific activity into the economic, social, cultural and political landscape. The World Café, and the whole Conference, will identify standards and practices to match ethical issues, gender equality, regional cohesion, research integrity, collaboration between private and public organizations, to mention just a few. This will offer a unique opportunity to capitalize the experiences of the past and to envisage the directions that they should take in the next activities promoted within Horizon 2020 as well as through national academic programmes. Keeping an eye on the past, but always looking at the future.

Exhibition & EventsLocation: MAXXI B.A.S.E., via Guido Reni 4/A

Rationale and Background

The Exhibition focuses on the pilot projects of “Art

and Innovation”, funded under FP6 SaS and FP7 SiS EC

Programmes, and on the output of CNR projects related to

the same topics. The Exhibition will offer a strong experiential

and interactive approach, showing projects from different

artistic expressions and languages. The artworks and the

“hands on” Exhibits show scientific contents while proposing

a variety of suggestions, connected to artistic multisensory

interpretations.

The Exhibit is set choosing different languages and creative

approaches for the scientific communication, aiming at

attracting the visitor towards the scientific contents through

an emotional approach. This arrangement has been chosen

to let the visitor free, while stimulating the gathering of

individual perceptions to build an emotional cloud to be

launched in the society.

A novel installation has been implemented to induce a

reflection about the artworks seen. The installation will allow

to choose and assign to each artwork a tag. The system will

suggest some keywords but others could also be added by

the visitors.The selection of the keywords will stimulate a

reflection on art and science through the association among

emotions and suggestions coming from everyday life.

The collective effect of such

interaction will be shown as a tag

cloud where the size of the words

is proportional to the frequency of

occurrence.

The exhibition includes also an installation

in the open space which intends to highlight the

gender discrimination still present in the workplace and in

our society.The Exhibition is not only the temporary show:

it includes a number of events dedicated to different society

stakeholders: students of primary and high school, teachers,

researchers, cultural companies in the field of science

education communication and citizens.

The event will be the beginning of a new relation between

science and the Roman territorial context, both through

the creation and improvement of local and international

scientific networks, and new public policies of integration of

research in the urban life.

From Tuesday to Friday, from 9.30 to 13.30 open for schools

only (on reservation), from 14.00 to 19.00 free entrance for

participants.

Saturday and Sunday open to the public, following the

schedule of the Museum.

9.30 – 13.30 LABORATORY: “JOURNALISTS FOR A DAY”Journalistic writing workshop for students of the first and second grade of secondary school. After visiting the exhibition and experiencing the installations dedicated to the bond between art and science, the students will be led to the development of a press release about the event of the exhibition.

18.00 SCIENCE WITH AND FOR SOCIETY IN ROMAThe Science with and for Society meeting in Rome aims at identifying public policies and strategies to promote the cultural and social value of the scientific culture. On these principles, the Municipality II of Rome has created the ‘’Observatory Science for Society”, active workshop and shared planning space, which has collected and put online more than 300 institutions, schools, associations and individuals. The Administration proposes an innovative pilot model, taking the role of coordinator of the reality and excellences of the territory, to monitor and enhance them becoming a reference point for scientific institutions and schools.

9.30 – 13.30 LABORATORY: “AUDITORY PERCEPTION FROM KNOWLEDGE TO IMAGINATION”An experience to taste with your eyes closed! Listening and let go the imagination: that’s all. This experience will allow the participants to dive into auditory places that are different from the usual, playing with the tridimensional aspect of sound. Closing your eyes and listening you can imagine places, perceive sensations, build forms in your mind. The listening experience can take us in a true virtual reality, places generated by our mind, our perception.

15.00 WORKSHOP: “CREAT-IT. IMPLEMENTING CREATIVE STRATEGIES INTO SCIENCE TEACHING”The workshop is focused on the questions: What does “creative thinking” mean in science? Is this thinking different from the one that supports the creative processes in other disciplines? Can we teach creativity? We will present the best practices identified by the project CREAT-IT..We will treat in detail one of the case studies: the science&theatre practice. The workshop will involve teachers first through a scientific training based on the inquiry and on collaborative learning. The workshop will continue with the elaboration of drama and narrative contents based on the scientific process, experienced during the first part.
