“ACCELERATing Europe's Leading Research Infrastructures” implemented within the framework of Horizon 2020 Programme

(principal investigator - Doctor of Sciences in Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Vasyl Rizak) 

Duration of the project: January 2017 – June 2021

Purpose: to help secure RIs’ sustainability, relevance and effectiveness, the project develops frameworks to improve the offer of tailored services to private and public entities, ensuring outreach to new scientific and industrial communities worldwide and defining common protocols for monitoring and assessing RIs’ socio-economic impact. Finally, a major focus is on capacity building to develop current and future RIs’ staff competences in the field of management, Industrial Liaison and Technology Transfer. The project is carried out while maintaining vigorous communication with research and industrial communities, policy makers, EC administration and other RIs’ stakeholders.

Result: the training sessions organized by CERIC-ERIC in the framework of the ACCELERATE project during 2017-2021 in Uzhhorod National University provided personnel from the Ukraine and neighboring communities with deep insight into the functioning of European Research Infrastructures and open access operations. Furthermore, they gained knowledge in the EU framework program for research and innovation H2020 and different models for liaison with industry by raising awareness of the possibilities of European research infrastructures and funding opportunities.
