After three intense and rewarding years, the RRI Tools project is coming to an end by 31 December 2016, leaving the Responsible Research and Innovation Toolkit as a legacy. This Toolkit, which contains nearly 500 tools, 28 guidelines, 50+ training resources, and a self-reflection tool, is meant to serve the community and further grow and develop.

As a participatory Toolkit, it belongs to everyone. Whether you belong to the research or the education community, whether you work in policy-making, in industry and business, or in civil society organisations, we have collected resources adapted to your specific field of activity, on a variety of topics such as public engagement, governance, science education, gender equality, open access, ethics... If you have not done so yet, create an account and join our 1000+ members so you can also add your own tools!

Many thanks to the 250+ participants in the RRI Tools final conference, on 21-22 November in Brussels, who made this meeting a vibrant and insightful event. You will be pleased to hear that the presentations and videos of the conference will be shared with you very soon. Stay tuned, we will inform you on the RRI Tools blog and in our social media. Meanwhile, the much-praised RRI Tools practical guide to Responsible Research and Innovation circulated in your delegate bags is already available for download here.

Our warmest thanks to all of you, dear readers, supporters and contributors to the RRI Toolkit. Its success is also yours. We wish you a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year 2017!
