Discover New Research Opportunities: How to Get Access to World-Class Facilities, Tools, and Data with Transnational and Virtual Access
Mon, 28 Apr, 19:00–20:00 (CEST) Room N1
Mon, 19:00
Transnational Access enables researchers to visit state-of-the-art facilities, conduct experiments on sophisticated equipment, and work directly with unique collections and data. Virtual Access allows you to interact with cutting-edge datasets, instruments, and computational tools without leaving your lab, providing seamless access to e-infrastructures and virtual research communities. Both mechanisms are designed to empower researchers with the resources they need to tackle pressing scientific challenges.
EU-funded projects, like IRISCC, together with European Research Infrastructures across domains such as agriculture, aquaculture, atmospheric, and ecosystem research, offer free-of-charge access to their services. These opportunities are available to researchers in Europe and, in some cases, to those from non-EU countries.
During this interactive session, we will explain the terminology, introduce how TA and VA work, and explain the exciting opportunities they offer. You’ll learn how researchers can benefit from physical access to laboratories, platforms, and specialised equipment; remote access to powerful tools and data; hybrid access that combines on-site visits with remote analysis; and virtual access to advanced datasets and instruments.
This session will also cover funding pathways, eligibility, and application procedures, making it easier for you to navigate the process. You’ll hear inspiring success stories from researchers who have leveraged these mechanisms to advance their work and have the chance to engage with experts, participate in discussions, and ask questions to explore collaborative opportunities.
Whether you’re conducting field research, developing new methodologies, or exploring big datasets, TA and VA offer unparalleled opportunities to enhance your research. Join us and discover how these mechanisms can help you access world-class resources, connect with leading experts, and achieve new breakthroughs in geosciences and beyond.
Who Should Attend?
This session is perfect for geoscientists looking to access state-of-the-art facilities, tools, and data to enhance their research. Whether you’re seeking on-site experimentation, remote data analysis, or virtual collaboration, this is your chance to learn, engage, and explore new possibilities.
