WP2 aims to map the R&I ecosystem in SeeRRI territories in order to get an overview of the current situation, as well as to identify relevant stakeholders, and to understand the inclusion of RRI in regional development policies. The mapping exercise in WP2 is structured to give important contributions to the next steps (i.e. stakeholder engagement in WP3 and framework development in WP4), since it will provide a clear picture of the state of the art in terms of actors, relationships and policy instruments for the three SeeRRI territories. WP2 activi ties contribute to build knowledge on the state of the art, and this knowledge-phase can be considered at the ground level for the development of building self-sustaining research and innovation (R&I) ecosystems through Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). The mapping procedure will be clearly defined, guidelines and recommendations on how to do it will be produced into this WP. Task 2.1 (T2.1) prepare the basis for a common procedure for actively mapping R&I ecosystems and stakeholders, which are guidelines for mapping exercise (D2.1) to be applied and tested in the following tasks (T2.2 and T2.3). In particular, the current Deliverable (D2.1) includes information on the scheme to collect existing data that are relevant for the RRI mapping of R&I ecosystems. The ambition of defining a common procedure for the active mapping of R&I ecosystems and stakeholders is to provide not just project partners, but all potentially interested R&I ecosystems, with a common methodology based on already available data bases, able to identify the relevant regional development policies for RRI implementation and the inter-linking in research activities of the relevant actors. This methodology will help not only to support the inclusion of RRI into regional development policies and tools by showing which facets of RRI are more integrated so far and which aspects could be improved, but also to establish the foundations for the definition of strategies for engaging stakeholders. The mapping procedure consists of two parts carried out with two different approaches, the Quantitative Mapping (QnM) and the Qualitative Mapping (QlM). In summary, the aim of the whole mapping exercise is to provide a clear image of the R&I ecosystem state-of-the-art in relation to RRI: how RRI principles are currently integrated into the regional development policies (i.e. into projects, programmes and activities) and how the main R&I actors are linked one with the other. Investigating the state-of-the-art represents the first step towards an improvement of RRI integration into the territory ecosystem.
