Europe’s world class research and technology infrastructures as strategic assets for talent to Choose Europe

Apie kvietimą

Expected Outcome: Projects are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: Creation of interconnected international scientific networks centred around European research and technology infrastructures, including where appropriate their university partners and university alliances, promoting their potential for international scientific collaboration and exchange, with due regard to research security and safeguarding data critical for research addressing global challenges. Creation of opportunities for EU/Associated Countries scientific communities to engage with excellent researchers outside the EU. This should be achieved through engagement with scientific institutions in other world regions, Development of "Choose Europe" as a strategic direction in the context of Europe's research and technology infrastructures, for promoting Europe as a destination for top scientific talent and for promoting European infrastructures as strong and reliable partners for international scientific cooperation. Strengthened visibility and communication of Europe's research and technology infrastructures’ role as world-class hubs for science and innovation, for attracting talent and for fostering international cooperation. Scope: This topic aims to leverage Europe's world-class research and technology infrastructures to attract global scientific talent and to strengthen Europe’s position as a partner of choice for international scientific cooperation, in line with the European strategy on research and technology infrastructures. By highlighting the unique opportunities for scientific advancement, innovation and collaboration available in Europe and with Europe, while building cooperative links between research and technology infrastructures, the initiative endeavours to make Europe a preferred destination for researchers seeking to contribute to and benefit from these state-of-the-art infrastructures. Projects are expected to focus on: Partnering with non-associated third-country scientific institutions, including universities to align on research methodologies, testing protocols and data sharing in the chosen field; promote the uptake in other world regions of practices developed and tested by pan-European research and technology infrastructures, to ensure comparability of results; and support the design of distributed research ecosystems, including data and cloud platforms and ecosystems. This could be achieved through joint workshops or training programmes, summer schools and other scientific visits aimed at building long-term bilateral links between European infrastructures and scientific institutions in other countries. Activities are expected to target students, early-career researchers, and/or scientific staff, including specialised technicians and support staff, while promoting gender-balanced participation. Organising targeted dissemination and outreach activities bringing together research and technology infrastructures, scientists and…
