Empowering Research Infrastructures for Global Impact: Digital Tools and Collaborative Solutions

EGI Foundation Side Event at ICRI 2024, in Brisbane, Australia and online

In today’s global scientific landscape, collaboration and interoperability are essential. Research Infrastructures across the globe play a crucial role in advancing scientific knowledge, but they need advanced digital solutions to reach their full potential.

This session will explore how digital tools and services empower RIs, focusing on interoperable data sharing, AI integration, computing needs, and scaling-up data valorisation. We’ll discuss how the RIs can leverage digital advancements for impactful scientific collaboration and research data management and how to address emerging computing needs to maximise the global impact of RIs.

Join us to discover how digital innovation can transform your Research Infrastructure.
