Organiser: European Science Foundation, MOSBRI, VITALISE and EuroPlanet

More than 100 RI projects in all fields of science have been or are currently funded by the European Commission INFRAIA scheme, either as “starting” or “advanced” communities. We propose to showcase different avenues for addressing the sustainability of these RI projects and their services. In addition, more mature and consolidated RIs will be invited to exchange experiences in a co-creation session in a mutual learning process. The outcomes of this event will support and guide RI projects from various fields when exploring potential sustainability alternatives.  

The first session will feature short presentations from participating RI projects highlighting their approaches to sustainability.

It will be followed by co-creation and mutual learning exercise addressing the three topics.

We will conclude by a roundtable discussion summarizing the outcomes of the co-creation session, lessons learned and way forward.
