PANERIS · Pan-European Network for Neuroscience Research Infrastructure and Strengthening of Support capacities

Current challenges in European Research and Innovation (R&I) infrastructure in neuroscience include barriers for collaboration, funding gaps, undeveloped skills, or lack of alignment in R&I policies. PANERIS consortium aims to be more effective together by i) ensuring access to a wider pool of European talent to neuroscience-related infrastructure and ii) contributing to the alignment of their R&I strategies, policies and funding programs at institutional, regional and national level. Access to excellent neuroscience infrastructure and resources will be maximised through capacity building, tackling key skills, and setting a common internationalisation strategy among the participating entities. Three widening entities and one non-widening will promote knowledge exchange among early-stage researchers while addressing issues like research administration, communication, ethics, human resources, technological transfer or open science, among others. Moreover, interaction with key R&I networks will not only increase the global proficiency of consortium members but will also contribute to engage with regional and national authorities for the creation of valuable synergies in funding programs and policies. Overall, PANERIS will consolidate borderless R&I strategies in neuroscience, contributing to the free flow of knowledge and technology in the European Research Area.
