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 YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa. By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
