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

Facilitating what kind of research?
Facilitating top-level research …
Poverty &Living conditions Working conditions & Job Quality
Com- parative Policy- related European Inclusive growth strategy EU2020 Social sciences research
… Evidence-based policies
