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.

La ricerca e l’innovazione responsabile RRI sfidano le università e la valutazione con nuove domande, che richiedono nuovi criteri e nuovi indicatori. Le università non possono ottenere risultati in linea con la RRI solo introducendo un insieme standardizzato di pratiche, il cui risultato è destinato a diventare un nuovo adempimento burocratico tra gli altri. Al contrario, la valutazione RRI richiede un processo di riflessività che le università e le comunità di ricer-ca dovrebbero adottare come componente normale della loro pratica di ricerca, circa l’obiettivo finale dei loro sforzi e il ruolo che esse svolgono nella società.
Keywords: RRI, valutazione, riflessività, ruolo sociale, università, indicatori.
