The webinar will present a real-world success story of a collaboration between a company and a research infrastructure. 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 actionable ways will be identified to make Europe’s 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. This webinar offers the opportunity to 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, as announced in the EU Startup and Scaleup Strategy, the European Commission adopted a Charter of Access for Industrial Users to Research and Technology Infrastructures on 28 July 2026 and launched an outreach campaign to increase the visibility of infrastructure services, facilitate peer-learning and provide networking opportunities.
