What is a European Research infrastructure?

HELPING HANDS Research infrastructure =

– facility or platform – That provides (scientific) resources and services – to the scientific community – Aim: enable to conduct top-level research

FACILITATING RESEARCH Supports scientists in research

– to access, order, analyse, store and reuse – data and knowledge – in ways otherwise impossible
