“…The conflicts don't go away, necessarily, but the group can avoid the totalitarianism and magical thinking of a single (totalitarian) future by acknowledging how dynamic emotions are managed and defended against. Thinking with and through our discomforts' (Shanley et al, 2022) can open up space to reflect on issues of care and responsibility in science and technology.…”

“…This approach of using projects to design organisational learning spaces (also known as projectification [1]) to “implement” RRI has been criticised, also from within the RRI community. For instance, it has been claimed that projects are too short-lived to achieve long-term impacts (let alone to be able to measure them) and that systemic aspects are disregarded (such as reward structures for scientists) (Fisher & Rip, 2013; Macnaghten & Chilvers, 2014; Owen et al, 2013; Ribeiro, Smith, & Millar, 2017; Rip, 2016; Shanley, Cohen, Surber, & Stack, 2022). Other studies show that expectations of the funding/programming are often unclear regarding the objectives of projects (Torka, 2006) and when focusing on the institutionalisation of RRI, a clear narrative of change is missing (Daimer, Berghäuser, & Lindner, 2022).…”

Purpose This paper aims to look at the implementation of project-funded research governance and its potential to induce organisational learning on responsible research and innovation (RRI). This paper analysed what types of organisational learning and change can take place within organisations of an Europe-funded project and to what extent. This paper examined whether and how change occurs and how it is shaped and co-produced with other orderings. Design/methodology/approach The paper is based on materials and evidence collected while working on the internal evaluation of a Horizon 2020-funded project. Analysis of the results of the mixed methods evaluation design was used to characterise occurrences of organisational learning and change. Findings The authors identified different forms of learning (single-loop learning, double-loop learning, reflexive and reflective learning and situational learning). The extent of learning that could lead to long-lasting organisational change was limited. This was due to the project-based and organisational design, the key-based definition of RRI and the indeterminacy of what constitutes learning and change – both at the level of funding and performing the project. For organisational change to occur, the authors argue for governance mechanisms based on reflexive learning that consider a range of structural conditions and measures. Originality/value Organisational learning plays an important role in change processes, which has so far been given too little consideration concerning the governance and implementation of RRI through project-based funding. The authors argue for a restructuring of governance and funding mechanisms to create more space for reflexivity and learning.
