    Final Workshop

    11th October 2011, Athens, Greece


    National Hellenic Research Foundation
    "Leonidas Zervas" Auditorium, 48, Vas. Constantinou Avenue

    Scope of event:

    The scope of this workshop, organised in combination with the closure meeting of EuroRIs‐
    Net and the beginning of the new project EuroRIs‐Net+, is to discuss the current challenges
    that Research Infrastructures (RIs) address ‐ being a key component of the ERA and the
    Innovation Union – and the contribution of RI stakeholders (including RIs NCP network) in
    this direction.

    Through an open dialogue with RI stakeholders, EuroRIs‐Net will highlight the added value
    achieved and the opportunities emerging through good practice exchange among RI NCPs
    and RI policy structures at the national level, in round table discussions with national /
    regional authorities and RI operators. Discussion will focus on the necessity to support
    synergy and complementarity in RIs’ funding linked to the smoother and more viable
    implementation and usage of RIs, as well as an increase in regional competitiveness. Case
    studies from national / regional practices will be presented to demonstrate successful
    paradigms. The international experience will be discussed through the presentation of a
    relevant case study from a RI NCP from the ICPCs of our network.

    In that sense, the workshop will provide a dialogue setting for the creative exchange of
    information among RI stakeholders, mainly focussing on RI operators, national and regional
    programme managers, users’ scientific communities and the broader Innovation and
    Technology sector, highlighting the need for further collaboration and exchange of best
    practices already followed in successful RI projects (including presentations of examples and
    recommendations from countries that have succeeded in allocating Structural Funds to fund
    RIs). More specifically, the role of e‐Infrastructures will be analysed, in terms of their
    horizontal impact to RIs’ faster implementation and usage. Discussions will focus on
    successful implementations of RIs can create ‘research market’ opportunities for industry (in
    parallel to the need for good practice adaptations, also at the NCP level), as well as on
    human capital, training, and innovation as an important accelerator of results.

    A poster session will be also offered in the exhibition area outside the auditorium of NHRF.
