    The RESPONSIBILITY project aims to create a Forum and a virtual Observatory in Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI); which facilitates the network of stakeholders to adopt and diffuse a common understanding in RRI between different actors in Europe and around the globe. The RESPONSIBILITY project has the vision to become an effective knowledge transfer tool that diffuses scientific knowledge and simultaneously involves researchers, policy makers as well as societal stakeholders in a user‐friendly manner to the concept and practice of RRI. The strategy for fulfilling this vision is to integrate the RESPONSIBILITY Observatory through an innovative way that will assist the research community to induce their ideas in the RRI concept and practice. Furthermore, it aims to create a critical mass of interested public surrounding and supporting the implementation of RRI, at the researchers' daily work, in their individual context. RESPONSIBILITY project was launched on 1st February 2013, for three years' implementation, brings together 10 partners from 8 European countries as well as 3 partners from Asia and America and targets these following outcomes: BL The project will have an extensive societal, economic and scientific impact and it will particularly enhance the International Coordination in the field of RRI, and spread results of best practices of technologies without any discrimination among countries, common European identity and perceived sense of RRI. BL It will enhance networking and collaboration by establishing a virtual place to find the tools for active networking, for dialogue and polls and for on-line discussions to stimulate and respond to issues raised / identified in RRI. BL The project will create an on-line directory facilitating the exchange of information, concepts and approaches on RRI. BL It will establish a critical mass in confronting multi‐dimensional and complicated societal issues. BL RESPONSIBILITY will also promote networks of scientists to facilitate the definition of research priorities, avoiding duplication of efforts and strengthen the collaboration under horizontal issues.
