RICH Europe kindly invites you to the Second RICH Europe Symposium on Research Infrastructures, which will take place on 25–26 February 2026 in Rome, Italy, at the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale.

European Research Infrastructures (RIs) play a pivotal role in advancing frontier research, fostering innovation, and addressing societal challenges. As strategic assets of the European Research Area (ERA), RIs support excellent science, enable cross-border collaboration, and contribute to Europe’s global competitiveness.

The Symposium will provide an opportunity to promote synergies among Research Infrastructures and relevant stakeholders; to showcase successful models of collaboration among RIs, partnerships, and clusters; to encourage the involvement of RIs in other parts of Horizon Europe; to assess and analyse cooperation between Research Infrastructures and other European programmes; to promote interoperability and data sharing; to facilitate dialogue among stakeholders; and to support capacity building.

You can use the QR code in the Save the Date or this link to register. Registration to the symposium is temporary closed, due to the maximum capacity of the Venue. Here is the Programme. Here is the InfoPack for your stay and attendance.
