	D-STIR method

Socio-Technical Integration Research (STIR) was initially designed to assess the capacity of scientific and engineering laboratories to perform this type of integration and has become an established method upon which RRI concepts and practices are based.

STIR supports interactions between experts from different disciplines (humanities and social science with technological sectors). In the case of D-STIR project these will be: target groups from policy, academia, business (including SMEs) and civil society across the macro-region. These experts will collaboratively reflect on the societal context of research decisions in order to support reflexive learning and practical adjustments.

D-STIR is highly innovative, as it implies RRI implementation method across the Danube and in less developed regions for the first time.
