Strategic priorities, funding and Pan-European co-operation for research infrastructures in Europe : survey report

Large-scale research facilities are crucial for the development of science in many fields of research. They provide new opportunities for innovations in science and for scientific co-operation. In light of the importance of Research Infrastructures (RIs) for science and the economy, the Science Europe Working Group on Research Infrastructures defined an agenda that would contribute to the actions described in the Science Europe Roadmap.[1] The demand for RIs is high throughout all fields of science. However, the available funds for capital investment and running costs are generally limited and do not nearly meet the demand. Effective allocation of available funds and effective operation of facilities is therefore important in order to serve the scientific community in the best possible way.[...]Lietuvos mokslo tarybaPolitologijos katedraVytauto Didžiojo universiteta
