ProgrammesThe International Conference on Research Infrastructures (ICRI) 2026 is hosted by the National Research Council (CNR). It is the flagship global forum for strategic dialogue and international cooperation on research infrastructures (RIs). It brings together scientists, policymakers, RI directors and operators, funding organizations and industry to share best practices, align priorities, and help shape the future of the world’s most advanced facilities, services, and data ecosystems.
Programme structure
ICRI 2026 will combine plenary and parallel sessions, side-events, exhibits and networking, designed by an international Programme Committee to reflect global priorities in research infrastructures
Programme themes
How can we measure and communicate the contributions of RIs to research and innovation, regional and global development, public services, workforce skills, and wider societal benefits? ICRI 2026 will explore approaches, indicators, and governance practices that support evidence-informed investment and long-term sustainability.
RIs enable international collaboration and provide shared platforms for global scientific responses. ICRI 2026 will discuss how infrastructures can foster openness, trust among nations, and mutually beneficial cooperation - especially in a complex geopolitical context.

The MareGraph project, ‘Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph’, obtained funding under the Digital Europe topic ‘OPEN-AI – Public Sector Open Data for AI and Open Data Platform’. The project will increase the semantic, technical, and legal interoperability of three selected high-valued datasets (HVDs) all maintained by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), which is one of the four partners of the project. This will allow the onboarding of essential marine datasets in the Common European Data Spaces. As such MareGraph will provide a structural component in the digital transition of the marine landscape. The numerous impacts of the project will benefit our seas globally in old and new ways to come.
