New horizons, old friends: taking an ‘ARIA in six keys’ approach to the future of R(R)I

Abstract

This response reflects upon the issues brought up by the Discussion Paper with regard to the loss of RRI funding in Horizon Europe, and what that might mean for early career scholars in our community and our field. As a knowledge project aimed at institutional change, one could argue that RRI is still incomplete and we must now anticipate a threat to that completion. However, that should not stop us from also anticipating the possibilities of an R(R)I whose future is ours as a community to determine.
