Programmes Research Infrastructures Horizon Europe Digital EuropeBuilding on the revised Charter for access to research infrastructures , this new Charter will be specifically aimed at facilitating access of companies. It will make it easier for companies, especially small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), startups and scaleups, to access Europe’s world-class research and technology infrastructures.
The Charter will help simplify access and contractual conditions of such infrastructures, ranging from advanced laboratories to large scientific instruments, pilot lines, testbeds, and more. As a result, companies will be able to test and validate their innovative solutions under the best conditions and bring them to the market more quickly.
It will also contribute to Europe’s vibrant and accessible ecosystem of research and technology infrastructures, a compelling reason for innovative companies to Choose Europe.
The Charter aims to improve access to infrastructures through six proposed principles:
Stakeholders are invited to provide their views on the design and content of the Charter by 10 December 2025. The final Charter is expected to be presented in 2026.

The ROOT project obtained funding under Horizon 2020 topic ‘EGNSS applications fostering societal resilience and protecting the environment’. The project, which ran from November 2020 to July 2022, aimed to demonstrate the benefit of Galileo OSNMA signal to increase the robustness of critical telecom infrastructures.
The Flanders-based company Septentrio contributed substantially to completing this objective together with the other ROOT partners. The results of the project partially close a gap in the security of telecommunication networks dependent on satellite-derived time, with indirect benefits in curbing illegal attempts to disrupt network services.
