27 October 2021, Online / Brdo Congress Center, Brdo pri Kranju, Slovenia

The ERIC Forum Chair will be taking part in the new ERA conference on 27 October 2021, at the breakout session 1 ”ERA for Research Infrastructures”.

 

The session aims to bring together various stakeholders to discuss the bottlenecks faced by the RIs. It will also contribute to the discussion on the funding of various RIs through the prism of various funding sources – regional, national, and European, grants and loans, and their use in synergy. The key questions that will be discussed during the session are:

  • How can various funding sources, be they grants or loans, on regional, national and EU levels, be used in synergy to support the sustainability of research infrastructures?
  • What are your key funding sources for providing/receiving access to RI services and resources? What specific challenges do you experience?
