Research Infrastructures
The 22 Research Infrastructures (RIs) participating in ITINERIS providing facilities, resources and services that are used by the research communities to conduct research and foster innovation in their fields. They include associated human resources major scientific equipment or sets of instruments, knowledge-related facilities such as collections, archives and/or scientific data infrastructures, such as data and computing systems and communication networks and any other infrastructure of a unique nature and open to different Users, essential to achieve excellence in research and innovation. Where relevant, these resources may be used beyond research, for example for training and education or public services. They may be virtual, 'single-sited' or 'distributed’[1].
