The InsiderESFRI and the future of Research Infrastructures, with Jana KolarWelcome back to The Insider, your weekly podcast about Research and Innovation in Europe.
Jana Kolar is the current Chair of ESFRI – the European Strategy Forum for Research Infrastructures. ESFRI has just celebrated 20 years and has had a crucial role in promoting a strategic approach across Europe towards selection and funding of research infrastructures. The importance of the contribution of ESFRI for strategic thinking, not just in research infrastructures, but in Research and Innovation more broadly along these last 20 years is often overlooked. But what is the future holding and how is ESFRI addressing it?

How distinct and specific are TIs in relation to other research and innovation support infrastructures? What specific challenges do they face over their lifecycle and how can their capacity be further leveraged? What is their role in a regional, national or transnational R&I ecosystem? Are TIs mostly local or is there a pan-european relevance and action rationale? What kind of governance and funding model should we develop to take the most ou...2022-03-3145 minThe InsiderGender Equality Plans: united in diversity? - with Catarina ValenteWelcome back to The Insider!
"United in diversity", the motto of the European Union, first came into use in 2000 but never made so much sense in the research and innovation domain as it does now that the EU not only made explicit its objectives for gender equality in research but is actively pursuing institutional change in research performing organisations, higher education institutions and research funding organisations.
Today we will be exploring not the numbers and the principles, as we assume you are agree there is work ahead of us towards equality and that this is a...2022-03-2531 minThe InsiderWhat kind of innovation do we want for our future?Welcome back to The Insider.
