Research Infrastructures are often challenged with managing several EU-funded projects simultaneously. Projects with big budgets and multiple work packages and tasks can be challenging to manage and coordinate even for the more experienced RIs. Project Officer Liisa Ikonen from ICOS
Author(s): Dr. Joaquín López Lérida; (LifeWatch ERIC) and Irena Vipavc Brvar (CESSDA/UL-ADP) In the fast-paced world of research, efficiency has become a critical necessity. Research Infrastructure (RI) staff, particularly those working in distributed environments, often face the challenge of managing
Author(s): Irena Vipavc Brvar (CESSDA/ UL-ADP) Esteban Gonzalez (Technical University of Madrid) opened the session by introducing the workshop’s objective, which is to explore the concept of open science and various initiatives from universities in Europe. He highlighted the efforts
This course focuses on the interplay between research and entrepreneurship when
creating innovations with a societal impact. The aim is to give participants more insight into establishing relationships with the industry and deepen their understanding of how to best align interests with the industry and assess innovative projects. It will combine theoretical aspects, showcases and testimonials from invited speakers, and practical sessions that take into consideration and draw inspiration from the diverse backgrounds of the participants. Basic concepts will be first introduced in traditional lectures, after which the participants get to demonstrate their understanding of the subject through showcases, exercises and teamwork assignments.
The objective of this short course is to develop the competencies required for RIs managers to build highly empowered, cohesive, accountable, and performing teams.
This short course introduces the lifecycle analysis of RIs, from the conceptual design phase
to the implementation, and the different organization levels typically associated with each
phase. The transitions between the organizational models are analysed with practical
examples of RIs at different organisational phases.This module provides the conceptual lens and analytical tools for RIs in order to achieve long-term goals. The emphasis is on understanding the complexity of RI environment, decision-making and implementing the strategy process within the organisation. The course has a very practical emphasis with a wide variety of cases, in-class discussion to enhance relevance.
This short course is designed to help RI managers enhance their skills and knowledge in defining and implementing key data management policies across the research lifecycle. Key topics include creating comprehensive data policies, establishing and respecting FAIR principles for data, and developing effective data management plans.
This short course takes an extensive overview of the various ethical, legal and social issues of science, that are affected by the international environment, open accessibility, and relationship with national or international institutions, companies and citizens.
Are you interested in learning how research infrastructure and industry can work together to drive innovation and solve real-world problems? Then look no further than the recent RItrainPlus Community of Practice meeting that was held on March 31, 2023. The meeting brought together experts in research infrastructure and industry to share and discuss the challenges and opportunities of collaboration between the two sectors.The lively discussion provided a glimpse into the future of research and innovation, and we can’t wait to share the highlights with you!
The Community of Practice meeting series continues on 31 March with an interesting panel about how to find a perfect match between people and challenges to convert the scientific potential of research infrastructure into value for industry. The meeting will
