On 22–23 October 2025, we presented the RIFF project at the RTI Summit 2025 in Copenhagen. We shared the project’s main goals and invited representatives from ESFRI and other European research infrastructures to take part in RIFF activities.
On 22–23 October 2025, our team participated in the RTI Summit 2025 held in Copenhagen, Denmark. This high-level event focused on the presentation of the new European strategy for Research and Technology Infrastructures (RTIs), bringing together key stakeholders from across the European Research Area (ERA).
We used this occasion to introduce the RIFF project to a wider audience. A dedicated booth was arranged to present the project’s objectives, activities, and opportunities for collaboration between research infrastructures (RIs) in the EU and Ukraine. We also actively engaged with representatives from ESFRI and other European initiatives, inviting them to join some of the RIFF activities!
The summit provided a truly valuable platform to raise awareness about RIFF among a new audience and to connect with organisations that share our commitment to support the development of RIs in Ukraine.
Last week, three EU partners from the RIFF consortium - MUNI, INESC, and EFIS - visited their Ukrainian counterparts. One of the key activities during the visit was participation in the first Information Day held in Lviv. This was an important milestone for the RIFF project, as it established a first building block for the whole project.
RIFF project is coming to Lviv through a series of events called Information Days, introducing the concept of research infrastructures, presenting opportunities and connecting Ukrainian researchers and infrastructure leaders across institutions.
