Fostering research infrastructure ecosystems for addressing complex scientific and societal challenges

Oecd

No 183, OECD Science, Technology and Industry Policy Papers from OECD Publishing

Abstract: Research Infrastructures (RIs) play a prominent role in advancing research in all scientific domains. However, individual RIs do not host all the equipment and resources required to tackle complex scientific or societal challenges, particularly when these are multi- or inter-disciplinary in nature. The development of integrated RI ecosystems offers new opportunities for enhancing the scope, impact and efficiency of individual RIs, but requires significant incentives to overcome the practical challenges that hinder their creation and sustainability. This policy report identifies and analyses good practices and presents a set of recommendations and guidance to help policymakers and RI managers support RI ecosystems across research disciplines and enhance the added value of RIs for society.
