RICH Europe’s 2nd Symposium of Research Infrastructures (RIs) “Maximising synergies in Science and Innovation through RIs” is organised under the RICH Europe project.

European RIs play a pivotal role in advancing frontier research, fostering innovation, and addressing societal challenges. As strategic assets of the European Research Area (ERA), RIs support excellent science, enable cross-border collaboration, and contribute to Europe’s global competitiveness.

The symposium will provide an opportunity to promote synergies among RIs and relevant stakeholders; to showcase successful models of collaboration among RIs, partnerships, and clusters; to encourage the involvement of RIs in other parts of Horizon Europe; to assess and analyse cooperation between RIs and other European programmes; to promote interoperability and data sharing; to facilitate dialogue among stakeholders; and to support capacity building.
 
Registration to the symposium will be open until 10 February 2026. You can find further info, the registration link and the (latest draft version of the) programme in the announcement on the RICH Europe website.

UNCHAIN - Revolutionising urban logistics & space management

The UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
