One of the first uses of the RISCAPE report was immediately after the RISCAPE launch event, as many of the identified key initiatives (even if not strictly self-identifying as Research Infrastructures) from Social Sciences met in Amsterdam airport for a one and a half day workshop.

Discussion between key probability based survey initiatives bought up many complementarities, shared challenges and experiences. Such global collaboration in this field was clearly welcomed, and this event might be the start for new initiatives.

A wonderful @RI_landscape social science global web surveys workshop closes with Europe, USA, Russia, Taiwan, S Africa, Chile and India represented.

The close cooperation with other projects and initiatives in the EU research infrastructures development is one of the RISCAPE priority in order to ensure consistency with the existing landscape work.

The 24th and 25th June 2019, Lisbon hosted the MERIL-2 final conference, a EU project aimed at creating an online source of scientific and policy relevant data on European research infrastructures.

We attended the event and we had the chance to discuss with few participants about the synergies between the two projects, RISCAPE and MERIL.

The RICH Symposium has been a great occasion to discover the main news on the last research infrastructures’ calls (WP 2020) and also an opportunity to have a look at Horizon Europe.

The RISCAPE team got in touch with experts of the sector. Watch the interviews recorded during the event!

EOSC represents one of the main challenges of the EU Commission within the RI Work Programme. We had the chance to talk with Gergely Sipos of IGI Foundation, organisation leading the EOSC-hub and partner in RISCAPE project.
