RRI and Digital Inclusiveness during Covid-19 Crisis in the HBP

The Human Brain Project (HBP) has a long-lasting experience of interdisciplinary collaboration by virtually bridging distances because its involved partners are not only complex but also spatially remote.

This article offers recommendations based on practical experiences of HBP members.
