ProgrammesBuilding 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.

Funded by Horizon Europe, under call topic HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ERA-01-80, INSPIRE is Europe's Centre of Excellence on inclusive gender equality in research and innovation. It relies on four Knowledge and Support Hubs to create knowledge in the areas of sustaining change, widening participation, intersectionality and innovation. Moreover, it supports stakeholders in their journey to become more inclusive through 12 Communities of Practice. In this way, INSPIRE aims to develop both cutting-edge knowledge and innovative strategies for gender equality in the European Research Area. INSPIRE brings together 14 partners. The Belgian partner in this project is UHasselt.
