Project description
Experts discuss the role of research infrastructures
A major worldwide event providing an opportunity for strategic discussions about international cooperation in research infrastructure was held in Brno, Czech Republic, in October 2022. The conference, which was organised by the EU-funded ICRI 2022 project, brought together experts and stakeholders to discuss challenges and emerging trends on an international level. The conference explored the role of research infrastructures in tackling current and future societal challenges, such as post-pandemic recovery and international collaboration. Participants also discussed the organisation and operational systems of research infrastructures. Overall, the conference facilitated the sharing of knowledge and best practices on how to efficiently organise research.
Objective
International Conference on Research Infrastructures (ICRI) is a major event bringing together policy experts, facility managers, leading researchers and a variety of other stakeholders to discuss challenges and emerging trends for research infrastructures (RIs) in the global context. The aim of the project is to facilitate the organization of ICRI 2022 conference in Brno, Czech Republic, in October 2022.
The conference will be co-organized by Masaryk University (MU), the second largest Czech university, Central European Institute of Technology (CEITEC), interdisciplinary centre of excellence co-hosted by MU and 5 more Brno universities and research institutes, the Czech Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MEYS) and the European Commission.
The objectives of the conference are:
1. To explore the role of research infrastructures in tackling current and future societal challenges, e.g. that of post-COVID recovery and international collaboration.
2. To explore organizational models and operational systems of research infrastructures, e.g. concerning data management, integration of smaller sized facilities, promotion or impact assessment.
3. To allow community building in the area of research infrastructure policies and management.
4. To promote the stories of host country, region, city and institution as dynamically developing areas fuelled by research infrastructures.
5. To promote science and technology as the driver of societal and economic progress among general public, highlighting the role of research infrastructures.
Improved policy and management in the area of research infrastructures may have widespread impact across regional economies and may significantly contribute to tackling global challenges. ICRI 2022 will facilitate sharing of knowledge and spreading of best practice on how to efficiently organize RIs.
