Share Your Good Practices on Industrial Access to Research and Technology Infrastructures

The European Commission has launched a new survey inviting Research and Technology Infrastructure operators to share successful practices that facilitate access for industrial users, including SMEs, start-ups and scale-ups.

The initiative is part of the implementation of the European Strategy on Research and Technology Infrastructures (RTI) and contributes to the development of the future Charter of Access for Industrial Users to Research and Technology Infrastructures. It aims to collect practical examples and lessons learned that can help improve access conditions, increase visibility of infrastructure services and strengthen collaboration between infrastructures and industry.

The survey marks the beginning of a broader outreach campaign designed to promote peer learning among infrastructure operators and support the exchange of experiences across Europe. Selected submissions may be featured in future outreach activities, including a series of thematic webinars on industrial access to Research and Technology Infrastructures, starting on 2 July 2026.

ESFRI RIs and other infrastructure operators are encouraged to contribute their experiences and showcase successful approaches that support innovation, technology transfer and industrial competitiveness.
