This course will introduce the basic principles of RRI, the AREA 4P Framework and its application to research projects. Participants will then be encouraged to apply the framework to assigned case studies to identify possible issues and actions to resolve them. Their cases and suggestions will be discussed in the group, affording the opportunity to receive 360-degree feedback on the work.
