Africa-Europe Symposium on Research Infrastructures

February 1-2, 2021 / virtual

Research Infrastructures (RIs), science policy organisations and research institutions meet to discuss opportunities and challenges for RI cooperations between Africa and Europe. If you would like to know more about EU-OPENSCREEN´s range of services, do not miss the talk of Bahne Stechmann, EU-OPENSCREEN Head of Operations and Scientific Strategy, on February 1, 2021 at 1:15-1:30 p.m.

We hope to raise awareness of individual RIs, to identify measures to mitigate current challenges of biregional cooperations between RIs, to initiate new and strengthening existing collaborations, and to initiate networks in a sustainable way so that all stakeholders benefit. We invite all researchers who have an interest in learning more about Research Infrastructures and the research opportunities they offer to scientists. Participation in this event is for free, but registration is required.

This symposium is organised as part of the RI-VIS project, a Horizon 2020-funded project to increase the visibility and raise awareness of European RIs to new communities beyond Europe.
