Research Infrastructure and Ecosystem within and beyond PNRR: Open Science, Open Innovation, and Higher Education 1/2
Co-organized with iENTRANCE@ENL Chair: Alfredo PICANO, iENTRANCE@ENL Manager & CNR
This session will explore the principles of Open Science and Open Innovation with a focus on the implementation of Research Infrastructures (RI) and Regional Ecosystems within and beyond the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). The session will be divided into two parts: a presentation segment followed by a roundtable discussion. In the first part, key speakers will provide an overview of current practices, key guidelines and real-world applications related to IR and Regional Ecosystems. They will address outstanding issues in their implementation and emphasise the need to integrate sustainability into research practices. In addition, experts will discuss how higher education systems can adapt to evolving innovation policies and requirements. Initiatives aimed at integrating processes and products for sustainability within the education sector will be highlighted, demonstrating the importance of equipping the next generation with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in an ever-changing technological and industrial landscape. The roundtable will focus on how open access to scientific knowledge and collaborative innovation can drive progress across different sectors. Participants will explore the benefits and challenges of open science and learn how these approaches can create effective, inclusive and sustainable research ecosystems. The discussion will also look at how higher education institutions can adapt their curricula and policies to promote innovation and sustainability, and ensure that graduates are prepared to meet future challenges. Overall, this session aims to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical implementation, ensuring that the principles of openness enhance the impact and efficiency of research infrastructures. It will align with and go beyond the strategic objectives of the PNRR, highlighting the critical role of higher education in fostering a resilient and innovative future.
