Abstract

Since the summer of 2020, researchers from ten projects pertaining to the Horizon2020 Science with and for Society (SwafS) call
have been meeting virtually as the SwafS14 Monitoring and
Evaluation ecosystem. Topics of discussion were the trials and tribulations of their regional Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) projects as well as their strategies for monitoring and evaluation. In this
paper we make a first attempt at presenting these issues as problems of
translation between different kinds of stakeholders. After an exploration
of the diversity of stakeholders and the process of translation in regional
RRI, we suggest evaluative conversations as a way of improving regional
RRI. We intend to develop this idea in the future and that these conversations will facilitate more responsible and engaged monitoring and
evaluation and contribute to better R&I policies
