Summary
The aim of this topic is to deliver innovative scientific instrumentation, tools and methods, which advance the state-of-art of European RIs, and show transformative potential in RIs operation. The related developments, which underpin the provision of improved and advanced services, should lead research infrastructures to support new areas of research and/or a wider community of users, including industrial users.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals should address all following aspects:
- Research and development of new scientific instrumentation, tools and methods for research infrastructures taking into due account resource efficiency (e.g. energy consumption) and environmental (including climate-related) impacts;
- their technology validation and prototyping;
- training of RI staff for the operation and use of these new solutions;
- the innovative potential for industrial exploitation of the solutions and/or for the benefits of the society.
Cutting-edge technologies will also enhance the potential of RIs to contribute addressing EU policy objectives and socio-economic challenges.
