We participated in a debate on the future of large research infrastructures in the Czech Republic

On Tuesday, 15th February 2022, the Masaryk University (MUNI) in close cooperation with the Central European Institute of Technology (CEITEC) hosted already the 5th edition of the National Day of Large Research Infrastructures of Czechia – the annual event organised by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (MEYS) to provide Czech research stakeholders with a forum to address pressing challenges of the large research infrastructures agenda development.

Representatives of the TC CAS (M. Pazour and I. Vaverková) presented the results of a Pilot analysis of socio-economic benefits and impacts of large research infrastructures, which they prepared on the basis of available data covering the period 2016 - 2020. The elaboration of the pilot analysis was financially supported by MEYS and will be followed by preparation of a comprehensive methodology to monitor the large research infrastructures’ benefits and impacts in long-term.

The VVI website informs in detail about the whole event, where the lectures of the speakers are also available.
