Between September 22nd and 24th, the European Commission (EC) held the Research & Innovation Days – the EU flagship event that brings together policymakers, researchers, entrepreneurs and citizens to debate and shape the future of research and innovation in Europe and beyond. Organized as a full online event this year, due to the restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the event drew the attention of thousands research and innovation players, in Europe and beyond. 

RESINFRA project, as a key initiative to foster international cooperation with third countries and regions (Latin America and Caribbean) in such a relevant topic for R&I development (research infrastructures), had a unique opportunity to enhance its visibility at the R&I Days. RESINFRA was one of the projects selected to provide further information on its activities within the R&I days webpage, more specifically at hub7 (international cooperation).
