DESCRIPTION:The INESC Brussels HUB Winter Meeting 2025 will convene in Porto on March 6, 2025, at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP).\nThis year’s meeting will focus on aligning EU and national strategies for the sustainability, governance, and funding of Research and Technology Infrastructures (RTIs).

The results of this workshop will be submitted to the European Commission to support future policy and funding decisions.\nAgenda Overview (March 6, 2025, FEUP, Porto)\n\n9:30 AM to 1 PM: A High-Level Open Session on Policy, Governance, and Funding for Research and Technology Infrastructures.\n1 PM – 2:15 PM: Networking Lunch.\n2:15 PM – 5:30 PM: Hands-On Needs Assessment Workshop where European RTIs and policymakers will analyze and validate critical gaps in the RTI ecosystem.\n\nThis high-level event provides a forum for European infrastructures to align on common challenges and opportunities, contribute to shaping future EU funding and policy directions, and strengthen the coordination between national and European strategies for infrastructure development.\nRegistration is OPEN until March 1, 2025.
