Mapping of international and multiregional research collaboration on biodiversity scenarios.
A report on Mapping of international and multiregional research collaboration on biodiversity scenarios has been recently published by the Horizon 2020 funded project BiodivScen.
This document was created with the aim to perform a mapping of the international and multi-regional research collaboration networks between scientists working on scenarios of biodiversity and ecosystem services. In particular, the objective is to characterize collaboration networks between the European Research Area (ERA) and other world regions, including the American continent, along with their evolution over time, the countries leading the collaborations and the research domains covered.
The analysis was performed through bibliographic analyses, which are relevant tools to quantify scientific cooperation networks.
The Spanish Agencia Estatal de Investigación and the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT), along with other partners of the BiodivScen project have actively contributed to the report, downloadable here.
Making Science Happen: A new ambition for Research Infrastructures in the European Research Area
The European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) has published the White Paper: “Making Science Happen: A new ambition for Research Infrastructures in the European Research Area”, laying out the role of research infrastructures in the renewed European Resarch Area.
The document is the outcome of the reflection made by EU Member States, Associated States, the European Commission and the research community on how to foster the further development of a European Research Infrastructure system capable of effectively supporting the enabling role of research and innovation for achieving Europe’s wider policy goals while contributing to the societal challenges and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
ESFRI, among other activities, facilitates international research cooperation and strengthens European research in a global perspective.
International Research Infrastructure Landscape 2019
The report International Research Infrastructure Landscape 2019 is the main result of the RISCAPE project, funded by H2020, and illustrates the position of the European RIs by research area in the international RIs landscape
RISCAPE aims at providing a systematic, focused, high-quality, comprehensive, consistent and peer-reviewed international landscape analysis report on the position and complementarities of the major European research infrastructures in the international research infrastructure landscape.
The complete report and the appendixes by thematic field are all downloadable from the RISCAPE webpage, through the following link.
The report was officially presented in Brussels, on the 19th of October, 2020. The Prezi presentation on the report can be accessed here.
Analysis of the CELAC landscape of Research Infrastuctures
Document elaborated by the project EULAC FOCUS, funded by Horizon 2020. It summarizes the current political dialogue between the EU and LAC and presents a selection of national and multinational Research Infrastructures open or ready to be opened for international collaboration.
Conclusions of the ICRI 2018 event
The ICRI 2018 Conference took place in Viena, in September 2018, during the Austrian Presidency of the European Council,
The aim of the conference was not only to discuss and debate a great variety of issues, but to focus on certain pressing issues and move the debate towards concrete conclusions and propose ways forward to secure effectiveness and functionality of RIs. The conference had 5 Parallel Sessions that looked at specific issues in more detail, being one of them internationalisation. Other issues were human resources, fostering of diversity and overcoming of inequality, enhancing societal value, and data.
All the slides of the Parallel Sessions, as well as the agenda and conclusions of the Conference are available at the ICRI2018 webpage.
