Description:
Inclusivity in Open and Responsible Research and Innovation (ORRI) means ensuring broad representation and participation from diverse groups in all stages of research and innovation. This principle seeks to actively involve individuals from underrepresented communities, including marginalized, vulnerable, and minority groups, to ensure their voices are heard and their needs addressed. By broadening participation, research becomes more equitable, relevant, and impactful.
