Purpose: The paper aims to discover the challenges of implementing the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) concept in higher education institutions. Design/methodology/approach: The approach included several steps. First, the necessary literature review was conducted to present RRI concept. Then, the information was gathered to present the lodzkie region in the area of R&D and economy. The last (empirical) part was the study in the form of workshops being organized to obtain information on factors influencing the implementation of RRI concept. Findings: Implementing RRI approach encounters barriers, in particular, the idea needs wider popularization, especially in terms of the benefits of its application. There is also insufficient social trust in science. This emphasizes a need to promote reliable scientific knowledge and to strengthen social awareness of its role in the development of the world. The role of internal and external stakeholders is important here. Communication between participants in innovation processes can improve the efficiency of activity in the sphere of RRI, including mechanisms of inclusive decision-making. The channels and models of communication have to take into consideration the heterogeneity of the recipients. This requires human resources with relevant competencies to execute efficient communication patterns. Research limitations/implications: The workshop was conducted on a relatively small sample and the attendants were already involved in socially/economically/environmentally responsible activity. Although it was possible to capture the main ideas on how to foster RRI concept, it is important to execute wider research on a sample representative for a whole quadruple helix population, including scientists not yet interested in “responsible science”. Practical implications: Findings are important for entities interested in promoting responsible research, e.g. public (e.g. regional) bodies. Social implications: A better understanding of the factors influencing RRI concept implementation can result in fostering the process which in turn would be beneficial for the society as RRI concept promotes research oriented on public interest. Originality/value: The paper presents publicly important findings that (with awareness of their limitations) can entail a commitment to achieving sustainable, ethically acceptable, and socially desirable results of research conducted within universities.
