The paper assumes that RRI challenge universities and the evaluation with new questions which require new criteria and indicators. Universities cannot achieve results toward responsible research and innovation just introducing a standardized set of practices, whose accomplishment is likely to become a new bureaucratic fulfilment among others. On the contrary, RRI evaluation asks for a process of reflexivity that universities and research communities should adopt as normal component of their research practice, about the ultimate goal of their efforts and the role they are playing in society.

Keywords: RRI, evaluation, reflexivity, societal role, university, indicators
