Join us to hear about a real-world success story of a collaboration between a company and a research infrastructure, demonstrating how streamlined access, whether through simplified contracts, cross-border facility access, or tailored support, can drive breakthroughs. By highlighting practical solutions to common barriers faced by industrial users in accessing infrastructure services, we will explore how these principles, if scaled, could transform the European innovation landscape.

Description
The discussion will feature firsthand perspectives from an innovative company and the service providing infrastructure host to foster a constructive dialogue on improving access for industrial users. Through this exchange, we’ll identify actionable ways to make Europe’s world-class research and technology infrastructures more responsive to business needs.
This session is the first of a webinar series on Research and Technology Infrastructure Stories. The series will be a platform for peer-learning and dialog within the research and technology infrastructure community. The series is a part of an outreach campaign that will feature also in person events throughout the year.
Join the discussion and contribute to setting the agenda for future webinars and outreach activities.
Background
The European Strategy on Research and Technology Infrastructures calls for improving the access to Research and Technology infrastructures for industrial users. To accelerate and support this, the European Commission is launching an outreach campaign to increase the visibility of infrastructure services, facilitate peer-learning and provide networking opportunities. The Commission is also preparing a Charter of Access for Industrial users to Research and Technology Infrastructures, announced in the EU Startup and Scaleup Strategy with a related aim.
