Facilitating macro-regional scope and link up to socio-economic actors of Research Infrastructures in the Danube Region

 
 

Dear readers!

 

One year ago we started our project journey dedicated to research infrastructure in the Danube-macro region and the constant reach out for excellence. Important steps were taken successfully and a number of activities were started by the ResInfra@DR partners.
In winter/spring 2018, this effort will be continued and we are happy to announce our 4th Dialogue Meeting in Zagreb in the beginning of March and the reopened Call for Participation in the 2nd ResInfra@DR Expert Training in Banja Luka in April. We invite you to learn more in this issue about current topic/s and opportunities!
The Newsletter Vol. 3 looks back at recent activities by the project and its partners and, moreover, it offers access to selected news from the international research infrastructure community!
At this point, we like to thank our growing expert community with more than 1000 readers of the ResInfra@DR newsletter for their interest!


Get in touch with us and share your issues – this is possible via several channels including Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn (private expert group) or write an email to office@resinfradr.eu

ResInfra@DR 2nd Expert Training in Banja Luka,  24 – 27 April 2018 – Call for Participation

 

After the successful completion of the first training for building capacity for planning, evaluation, management and operation of research infrastructures (RIs), the ResInfra@DR team is preparing for the next training which will take place in Banja Luka, Bosnia-Herzegovina, between April 24 and 27.
Although the list of participants for the Banja Luka training is almost full, there are still a few places available for participants from the countries, which were not sufficiently represented on the Sofia training. We are therefore again opening the call for participation for applicants from the following countries: Austria, Serbia, Slovenia and Slovakia. The training is primarily aimed at RI programme owners (ministries responsible for defining, financing or managing research programmes), RI funding agencies, RI managers and operators (hosts), as well as potential reviewers of RIs.
Deadline for the submission of application is Friday, 16 March 2018, 17:00 CET.
