Research and Innovation Infrastructures - RIIs - are key assets for the EU, for the scientific community as well as for applied research purposes. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has clearly shown how much research capacity provides a boost, at all levels, to tackle global and urgent problems. The INNO INFRA SHARE project has worked on several aspects related to RIIs including their development, exploitation and sustainability, as well as their potential for interregional collaboration.
The INNO INFRA SHARE final event intends to share knowledge on the partners experiences on RIIs, and to reflect on key elements related to RIIs potential. This will be done with the contribution of knowledgeable keynote speakers, project partners representatives, the European Commission and the Interreg Europe Joint Secretariat.
This event is organized within the Interreg Europe programme 2014-2020
