B Some awareness RRI as concept understood by
some stakeholders;
Some RRI keys and O’s are referred to by some stakeholders;
The need for mainstreaming through operationalisation is referred to by some stakeholders
8.5. Conclusions
While the terms RRI and 3O’s are not used at all across JRC, there seems to be an increasing embracement of aspects related to these. Awareness of RRI is given in some areas of JRC while in others it is not given at all. While the JRC aims to be a partner for the EC in terms of research, there is still a high dependency particularly since the EC defines many areas of research - yet not all and there is room for negotiation for the JRC. The absence of RRI in Horizon Europe does not support this ambivalence role of RRI within the JRC. At the same time, it seems that parts of the JRC are struggling with the current restructuring that has also brought the JRC closer to aspects related to RRI. There seem to be actors in favour of the recent developments and also some actors less

satisfied with this trend. Also it seems that some units have already “arrived” at the new structures whereas not all parts of JRC have done so equally by now. RRI as a concept is not embraced by the JRC while aspects related to RRI, such as Open Science, Gender, Governance or engagement indeed become more important.
