This quick guide explains what responsible research and innovation really means and why it is so important for modern society. It explores RRI through the lens of the RRI Tools project and provides practical examples of its implementation through a number of case studies and an overview of the RRI Toolkit structure and main contents. A selection of ‘How To’ guidelines explains how to apply RRI to specific situations, including policy, research and business contexts.

Grounded on new research in neuroscience Universal Design for Learning (UDL) constitutes an educational approach that promotes access, participation and progress in the general curriculum for all. UDL recognises the need to create opportunities for the inclusion of diverse learners by providing curricula and instructional activities that allow for multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement. In the first decade of its development, the emphasis in the domain of UDL was on the use of technology to inclusive education and accessibility for the disabled.

Student projects meet real needs in the community outside of school, they are presented publicly, and draw upon local expertise and experience. The school environment fosters learner independence –and interdependence –through collaboration, mentoring, and through providing opportunities for learners to understand and interrogate their place in the world.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are a tool of Geoinformatics as they combine both descriptive information and spatial information into a computational system. The incorporation of new technologies at every stage of the educational process is a prerequisite for developing students' creative and critical thinking and providing them with the skills to manage, process and distribute knowledge and information throughout their lives.

The document describes the implementation of the programme in a rural school in Greece, Primary School of Vytina.
