New publication 'Research Infrastructure in Flanders and Participation in International Research Infrastructures'
02/09/2026 09:32
Flanders invests heavily in research infrastructure: advanced laboratories, testing facilities, pilot plants, databases, and digital platforms that help form the foundation of innovation and technological progress.
These infrastructures are not only crucial for scientific research but also offer concrete opportunities for companies wishing to innovate, experiment, or develop new products and services.
The publication 'Research Infrastructure in Flanders and Participation in International Research Infrastructures' aims to make the Flemish portfolio of research infrastructure for researchers and companies, including Flemish participation in international research infrastructures, more visible and accessible.
The publication specifically illustrates the opportunities they offer for shared use, collaboration, and valorisation.
Researchers and Companies
In addition, Flanders explicitly positions its research infrastructure within a European and international context.
In view of the upcoming update of the ESFRI Roadmap, Flanders aims to clearly and coherently map out its investments, capacities, and participations.
For researchers and companies, this opens up additional perspectives, such as access to European networks, international expertise, and large-scale facilities that are not available locally.
By making the Flemish portfolio visible within a broader European context, the guide aims to demonstrate a well-founded Flemish contribution and to influence European prioritisation and decision-making regarding large-scale research infrastructures.
In short: Flanders invests not only in research infrastructure, but also in visibility, collaboration, and economic valorisation.
This guide invites researchers and companies to actively make use of the research infrastructure portfolio.
