Sharing strategies for European Research and Innovation Infrastructures (INNO INFRA SHARE)

The goal of project INNO INFRA SHARE (Sharing Strategies for European Research and Innovation Infrastructures) is to improve the accessibility and exploitation of local Research and Innovation infrastructure (RII) assets by the SMEs.

RII has the potential to serve as enablers of competitiveness and growth for local SMEs and foreign users, especially in the areas of Key Enabling Technologies (KETs). To unleash this potential, Project partners will jointly work towards adding a market-driven dimension to the research and technology one, by networking and promoting collaboration opportunities at the regional and international level and by addressing RII relevant national and regional policy instruments.
