Research Infrastructures (RIs) constitute major strategic assets across all scientific disciplines, research fields and national, regional, and global scales. They support the research needed to produce breakthrough discoveries and address societal challenges.
For international cooperation and collaboration among RIs, it is necessary to develop and implement governance and funding models that build trust, manage risk and enable infrastructures to keep up with technological developments. Policymakers and funders play a critical role in the evolution of RI to harness it for new opportunities and different applications.
The Brisbane Statement arises from the 2024 International Conference on Research Infrastructures (ICRI 2024). It encourages all RI stakeholders to actively consider the role of RIs in addressing global challenges, and how strengthening international RI collaborations can help solve them.
