Extended Data: Interview Guide and Informed Consent (PATTERN Task 1.1)

This document provides the interview guide and informed consent materials used in the PATTERN project (Piloting open and responsible Activities and Trainings Towards the Enhancement of Researchers Networks, Horizon Europe, Grant Agreement No. 101094416). The materials supported data collection for Task 1.1 (Mapping and analysis of training activities) within Work Package 1 and were used in semi‑structured interviews with experts on Open and Responsible Research and Innovation (Open RRI). They outline the ethical framework, consent procedures, and thematic structure of the interviews, which contributed to identifying training resources, good practices, and gaps in Open RRI training across Europe.
