The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) opens again its scientific laboratories and facilities to people working in academia and research organisations, industry, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and more in general to the public and private sector.
The JRC offers access to its non-nuclear facilities to researchers and scientists from EU Member States and countries associated to the EU Research Programme Horizon Europe. For nuclear facilities, the JRC opens to EU Member States and to countries associated to the Euratom Research Programme. International organisations are also eligible under specific conditions as detailed in the call for proposals.
Offering access to visiting researchers is part of JRC’s strategy to
- enhance dissemination of scientific knowledge
- boost competiveness
- bridge the gap between research and industry
- provide training and capacity building
Scientists will have the opportunity to work in the following fields
- nuclear safety and security (Euratom Laboratories)
- chemistry
- biosciences/life sciences
- physical sciences
- ICT
ABOUT OPEN ACCESS FRAMEWORK OF ACCESS
The JRC opens access to both nuclear and non-nuclear research infrastructures. Find here the list of laboratories and visit their pages to find out any open calls.
Additionally, JRC offers also relevance-driven access, which is exclusively dependent on scientific and socio-economic relevance at European level. It is based on a peer-review selection process following a call for proposals. Projects accessing JRC facilities under the relevance-driven mode are only charged the additional costs associated to such access. Find here the open calls.
JRC research infrastructures collaborate with several research organisations in Europe, by participating in European projects funded by the European Commission’s Framework Programmes for Research and Innovation, or in association to the European Strategy for Research Infrastructure (ESFRI) roadmaps or with European Research Infrastructures Consortia (ERIC), with the aim of networking and providing cross-border.
