PRO-Ethics' overall objective is to create a comprehensive, co-developed, tested, and widely consulted Ethics Framework that enables a more effective handling of the ethical dimensions of innovation, with a special focus on the engagement of non-traditional stakeholders in participative innovation, to the benefit of more relevant, fair and effective innovation activities. The events planned in the course of the project are tailored to this objective, covering all steps necessary to ensure both the highest quality standard and maximum uptake of the core outputs of PRO-Ethics, with the highest possible benefit to the end-users of the PRO-Ethics Framework and Practical Guidelines. This document constitutes deliverable D7.3 List of Events, giving an overview of all planned events of the PRO-Ethics project.

The present deliverable is the main output of Task 5.1, which entails the development of a Monitoring and Evaluation Concept. This concept is aimed specifically at the eleven Pilot cases of the PRO-Ethics project, which in turn serve as real live experiments of participatory approaches in research and innovation funding. The pilots are organised in two phases, intended to maximise the possible impact of the project. To this end, the four ongoing Phase I Pilot Cases are reviewed and the learnings applied to create the seven Phase II Pilot Cases. The D5.1 Monitoring and Evaluation Concept thus serves to monitor and evaluate the present Pilots, as well as to create, monitor, and evaluate the new Pilots of Phase II. Beyond the confines of the PRO-Ethics project, the Monitoring and Evaluation Concept should also be applicable outside the project consortium in other programmes and processes with participatory elements. Because of this, the present Concept aims for a rather abstract approach to monitoring and evaluation, to ensure broad applicability.

Throughout the year of 2020, the PRO-Ethics project has enabled the research funding organisations (RFOs) in its consortium to reflect on their so-named Pilot I cases and showcase some of their prior experiences in working with participatory approaches in RFO activities. For this process, four hosting RFOs (FFG, VDI/VDE-IT, RCN and Innoviris) have partnered with four supporting RFOs (CDTI, TAČR, RCL, UEFISCDI) who contributed to a reflection and analysis process with their external and new perspectives. In this first phase of the project the RFOs reflected on their already existing participation processes with different means and from different perspectives, resulting in a diversity of insights. The present report provides insights into the ongoing reflections of the Pilots and provides lessons learnt from the first four cases of phase I. It summarises a variety of experiences which differ from each other and enables a deeper understanding of the difficulty and diversity of participatory processes. Furthermore, it gives insight into the different ways the RFO partners deal with ethical issues and risks. The experiences and lessons learnt from Pilot I summarised in this report will serve as basis for the development of the phase II Pilots, where RFOs design and implement new cases within the aforementioned action fields of participation.
