EVENTS

This page provides you with a list of conferences, seminars and other events related to RIs. These are updated retrospectively as additional details are provided to the website.

Forthcoming events
  • From EuCARD to EuCARD2, Concluding & Kick-Off Meetings combined with a Workshop on Visions for the Future of Particle Accelerators
    CERN, Switzerland, 10-14 June 2013
    After reviewing the EuCARD results and before kicking-off the new EuCARD2 project, the meeting will dedicate two days to visions of accelerator technologies or concepts for the future, exploring the limits of the accelerator technologies in use or considered for current projects, and the requirements or promises of new avenues. This will be complemented by round-tables on the role of EU projects, on technology and knowledge transfer.
Past events
  • Promoting Africa-EU Research Infrastructure Partnerships
    Brussels, 7-8 March 2013
    An associated event to the ‘EU Science: Global Challenges, Global Collaboration (ES: GC2)’ Conference organised at the European Parliament under the Irish Council Presidency

  • Towards an integrated atmospheric observing system in Europe,
    Brussels, 3-4 December 2012
    The overall objective of this workshop is to develop synergies between atmospheric ESFRI research infrastructures, existing research infrastructures implemented as Integrating Activities, Integrated Projects and relevant Joint Programming Initiatives (JPI) in the field of Atmospheric Sciences.

  • Australia-EU Research Infrastructure Second Workshop
    Brussels, 26-27 June 2012
    The objective of this workshop was to propose concrete ways forward to realise increased cooperation in the areas of Health, Environment/Climate Change, (non-nuclear) Energy, and on common data challenges/e-infrastructure.

  • EU-New Zealand data and e-research infrastructure workshop
    Brussels, 7 June 2012
    Programme and presentations are available here

  • ICRI 2012 - Global research infrastructures and the Grand Challenges
    Copenhagen, 21-23 March 2012
    The International Conference on Research Infrastructures, ICRI 2012, took place under the auspices of the Danish Presidency of the European Union, in cooperation with the European Commission. This was the Seventh Conference on Research Infrastructures.

    During the two-day event, issues such as decision making processes, funding, management, use-dissemination-exploitation (including data, access) of research infrastructures were discussed in depth. More than 600 experts, scientists and stakeholders attended the event and spoke about how global research infrastructures can tackle the so-called Grand Challenges, more specifically in the fields of health, environment and energy.

    The Conference made specific recommendations on how international cooperation on research infrastructures can be more effective in the future.

  • AAAS Annual Meeting 2011
    Washington, 21 February 2011
    Symposium: Research Infrastructures: the emergence of key players for environmental research

    Climate change, biodiversity, carbon emissions, or natural hazards: by nature, environmental research must address challenges ignoring geographical borders, at the frontier of classical scientific disciplines and at the forefront of the international political agenda. Besides the global nature of these challenges, the scale and complexity of the resources needed and the development of information and communication technology have made necessary and enabled increased international collaboration in research and knowledge sharing. Developing world-class research infrastructures for environmental research is therefore one of the priorities of European authorities.
    The symposium enabled a debate on future transatlantic cooperation in environmental research and more specifically in the field of geosciences observation systems.

  • Conference ENERI 2010
    Brussels, 29th - 30th November 2010

    eneri logo
    ENERI 2010 is an event of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU organised by the Belgian Science Policy Office, in cooperation with DG Research of the European Commission. Detailed information was provided on the Update 2010 of the ESFRI Roadmap and the three new pan-European research infrastructures which have been identified in the energy field: WindScanner, EU Solaris and Myrrha. Other new and existing energy research infrastructures were presented. All these facilities are clearly needed for the implementation of the SET-Plan and for building solid knowledge and technological foundations of future innovation partnerships in the energy field.
    The conference stressed the need to implement the co-development of the Research Infrastructure policies in the Energy domain and of the SET-Plan, looking for increased synergies with the Joint Programming activities of the European Energy Research Alliance and the European Industrial Initiatives.
