The European ETHNA System project, coordinated by the Universitat Jaume I, is starting off 2022 with the release of an updated version of the ETHNA System Concept guide to be used by the organisations that will pilot its implementation during the lifetime of the project. This document acts as a guide to the implementation of ethical governance of responsible research and innovation (RRI) in research and innovation performing organisations (RPOs) and funding organisations (RFOs).

The Guide is the culmination of an extensive multi-stakeholder consultation process involving almost 900 external stakeholders from across the world to help revise and validate the first version of the ETHNA System concept. Key findings from the process pointed to the need to create a more adaptable system that addresses two dimensions essential to the institutionalisation of RRI: top-level leadership support and an existing support base. To successfully adapt to these different institutional characteristics, the ETHNA System foresees different models. Implementers can thus choose the level best suited to their internal structure.

The release of the Guide serves as the basis for the next critical phase of the project - its implementation through Living Labs. The ETHNA System will be demonstrated and verified in four living lab contexts in higher education, research funding, innovation ecosystems, and research centres in 6 different organisations from Spain, Norway, Estonia, Portugal, Bulgaria. In the ETHNA Lab, participants will take part in a co-creation and experimentation process to de­mocratise and improve the elements of the ETHNA System.

Elsa González Esteban, project coordinator and lecturer of the Department of Philosophy and Sociology of the Universitat Jaume I de Castelló (UJI), states that "on the one hand, the living labs will help showcase that positive change is possible with dedicated and thoughtful co-creation with stakeholders. And on the other hand, a diverse stakeholder engagement process in living labs will lead to the inclusion of representatives from each sector in innovation processes, creating results from which all involved stakeholders can benefit. The outcomes will then feed into the final version of the ETHNA System.

**About ETHNA**

The EU funded ETHNA System project intends to develop and implement a flexible ethical governance system for the use of responsible research and innovation (RRI) in Research Performing and Funding Organisations.

The system is composed of an ETHNA RRI Office(r) and three Guidance Tools: A Code of Ethics and Good Practices in R&I; An Ethics Committee on R&I; An Ethics Line for safe and secure communication.

These tools are bolstered by performance indicators and work methodologies for RRI. The ETHNA System building blocks are flexible and adaptable and allow for different levels of institutional commitment, depending on the needs and capabilities of each organisation.

The ETHNA System, which will be implemented and validated in six different organisations in five countries, will propose institutional interventions to address the ethical challenges faced during research and innovation activities. The purpose is to develop a governance structure that is sustainable over time and can be transferred to other centres, favouring a more responsible research and innovation based on engagement with citizens and society.

The project, launched in January 2020 and funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Programme is led by the Universitat Jaume I (Spain) and involves ten partners from eight countries.

These tools are reinforced by performance indicators and working methodologies for RRI. The building blocks of the ETHNA System are flexible and adaptable and allow for different levels of institutional commitment, depending on the needs and capacities of each organisation.
