ProgrammesThe Commission has launched a public survey to collect input from interested stakeholders on the forthcoming Charter of access for industrial users to research and technology infrastructures.
Building 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.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).
