Abstract

This paper presents the summary of a qualitative study developed during the first year of the European project ENGAGE. Our aim is to identify opportunities and challenges for equipping the next
generation for responsible citizenship at scale. ENGAGE aims to spread the teaching and learning of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) by connecting cutting-edge Science and Technology educative materials (Sherborne et al, 2014). Our goal is to reach 12.000 teachers and 300.000 students in 14 countries within 3 years. For that, the ENGAGE Hub platform (EngagingScience.eu) combines Open Educational Resources (OER) for students, Open Online Courses (MOOC) in EdX platform and Community of Practice (CoP) for teachers. It was developed based on the CPD framework and RRI curriculum.
