R&I Convention
R&I Convention

From 6 to 8 November 2023, the EPICUR Conference on Sharing Research Infrastructures was hosted by Adam Mickiewicz University (AMU) in the beautiful, historic Gułtowy Palace near Poznań. The conference was jointly organised by AMU and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and brought together experts in research infrastructures, intellectual property rights and open science to work together on establishing a common policy on the use of research infrastructures within the EPICUR alliance. The productive meetings resulted in a clear action plan for three phases to establish a common policy and the recommendation of a new mobility format for master students and early career researchers that includes the sharing of research infrastructures. We would like to thank the AMU for making this successful event possible.
