Delivering a pan-European
Programme of Training & Advocacy

2. • Develop and deliver a training and advocacy programme,
based on the RRI Toolkit that will encourage use and
dissemination of the RRI Toolkit within the maximum EU
member states and associated countries
• Format of the training will avoid the traditional 'teacher in
front with listening audience’ and try to work with case
studies in an interactive way, allowing the participants to find
a solution on their own.
• The role of the trainer will be to guide the participants
through the process and not to deliver ready-to-use solutions.

Editor's Notes
Thinking back to the first RRI tools consortium meeting.
Talked about what we wanted to do, the task ahead and there were so many different ideas about what RRI was and what the training should look like – whether it would be online, face to face, big groups, small groups (and that was just the UCL team).
Very proud of what we’ve achieved together
Go back to the very beginning and remind eve
