“…College students in the new era are highlevel talents with advanced science and technology and scientific theoretical knowledge, the backbone of promoting the realization of the Chinese dream, and at the same time, a special group in the critical period of life growth [9][10]. College students should shoulder heavy responsibilities and bear heavy burdens so as to realize the historical mission of the Chinese dream without dishonoring their mission [11][12]. This paper takes students from selected private colleges and universities in Anhui Province as the research object and designs a questionnaire based on the IMB model to investigate the information cognition, motivation, and behavioral situation of the sample students' sense of social responsibility and to explore the effect of cultivating college students' sense of social responsibility.…”

In recent years, the sense of social responsibility among college students has garnered significant scholarly interest due to its impact on individual development and its implications for national modernization and strength. This study introduces the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model as an innovative approach to fostering social responsibility in students at private colleges in Anhui Province. By employing a questionnaire, we assessed the current state of social responsibility cultivation among these students. Subsequently, an intervention study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the IMB model. The intervention group received a social responsibility intervention based on the IMB model, while the control group continued with traditional methods. The findings indicate that the intervention group outperformed the control group across various dimensions—information, motivation, behavioral skills, and social responsibility behaviors. Notably, the overall sense of social responsibility in the intervention group increased by 13.13% post-intervention, which is 14.87% higher than that observed in the control group. These results suggest that the IMB model is a potent strategy for enhancing social responsibility among college students.

Nowadays, society faces challenges like climate change and inequality that are addressed by the Sustainable Development Goals. Academia plays a central role as a driver for innovation through research, teaching, and transfer to develop answers to these challenges. Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) provides a framework for aligning research and innovation with societal needs. The technical university RWTH Aachen University considers RRI to be one of its main principles and established the RRI Hub as part of its excellence strategy in 2019. The RRI Hub is supposed to strengthen RRI in research, teaching, and transfer, with a focus on sustainable and responsible development, social innovation, and sustainable and inclusive artificial intelligence. This article describes the importance of academia to foster RRI and to structurally integrate it into universities using the example of the RRI Hub at the technical university RWTH Aachen. As a case, a participatory research project in the area of RRI is presented additionally.
