Research Infrastructures (RIs) and Technology Infrastructures (TIs) are essential and complementary elements for functional and efficient R&I ecosystems in Europe. They play a crucial role in strengthening European R&I capacities, from exploratory research to the development, validation and integration of innovative knowledge-based solutions into new products, processes and services.

Composed of RI and TI stakeholders across 19 European countries, RITIFI is a Horizon Europe project aiming to improve the integration and structure of the European R&I landscape by better opening and integrating RI and TIs. It is:
• developing a functional framework for the integration of RI and TI services tailored to the needs of end-users – especially industry
• improving the visibility and access conditions of RI and TI with an agile and TI-friendly governance model at European level
• providing a multi-level analysis of the RI and TI policy landscape and proposing an action plan to ensure alignment and synergies of access policies
• developing a process for prioritisation and synergies of investment plans for RI and TI sustainability
• raising awareness and stimulate the inclusive engagement of managers, users and policy makers in the development of an integrated RI and TI landscape.
