D-STIR Danube Framework for Responsible Research and Innovation using Socio-Technical Integration

STIR Activities

This section will update interested public, visitors of our website, stakeholders and relevant media about STIR method and STIR activities, Pilot Actions in D-STIR Project and our fieldwork. Pilot Actions in the next few monhs will be divided into Pilot Action in Academic Environment in Romania, Hungary and Czech Republic, where Pilot actions in Business Environemnt will be performed in Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Germany, Czech Republic, Croatia and Bosnia and Hercegovina.This feeds into the final Danube RRI Strategy and it is designed to achieve:

  • application of the D-STIR method in the pilot sites, thus helping to define a set of RRI Actions
  • to test a selection of RRI actions in pilot organisations
  • to analyse opportunities to leverage funding for long-term funding of RRI Actions and D-STIR Method
  • to ensure cross-pilot monitoring of pilot progress and impact and ensure input to final RRI Strategy

1. THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION HAS STARTED

 

 

 

The practical application of the D-STIR method has been started - this method is adjusted to the special features of the Danube region. The D-STIR is tested firstly at ELI-ALPS Research Center in Szeged (Hungary). The First Hungarian Responsible Innovation Association was the knowledge provider in the methodology development.

2. STIR APLICATION IN ELI-ALPS

Petra Szűcs, Embeded Humanist for ELI-HU Research and Development Non-Profit Ltd from Hungary working with Szabolcs Tóth (early-stage researcher) in ELI-ALPS. ELI-ALPS is a brand new, worldwide unique research infrastructure. 

Szabolcs TÓTH obtained his master’s degree at the University of Szeged (Hungary), Faculty of Science and Informatics in 2015. He started his scientific work in 2012 at the Department of Optics and Quantumelectronics in TeWaTi laboratory and later, in 2015, he joined ELI-ALPS where he works as an early stage researcher in the Laser Sources Division. His research field is nonlinear optics. His tasks are to operate the MID-IR and SYLOS laser systems and to design and develop optical parametric amplifiers.
