ProgrammesShare your good practice and showcase how you improve access for companies to use Research and Technology Infrastructures.
Policy context
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, the European Commission is launching an outreach campaign to increase the visibility of infrastructure services, facilitate peer-learning and provide networking opportunities.
Call for good practices: Share what works
To kick-off the outreach campaign, the European Commission invites infrastructure hosts and operators to share examples of good practices that improve access to research and technology infrastructures for industrial actors, especially SMEs, startups or scaleups.
Next steps in the campaign
The practices will be collected in an open repository for peer learning purposes, and will feed into outreach activities, such as a series of online seminars. The Commission will also host physical events to facilitate networking.
More information about this initiative, including the submission guidelines (PDF) and form to submit your best practice, is available in the announcement on the European Commission DG R&I webpage.

Only for stakeholders located in Flanders
The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’. RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
