“Innovation is like love: you can’t buy it, you can’t force it”. The somewhat lame metaphor from
ICOS-ERIC’s Director General Werner Kutsch stuck like no other at the II RICH Symposium, held on
the 8th of May, at the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon.
(Quote from the official press release)

RICH, the network of National Contact Points for H2020-Research Infrastructures programme, organized the symposium “Fostering the Innovation Potential of Research Infrastructures", on 8 May 2017, in Lisbon. The objectives of the symposium were to showcase approaches to innovation taken by Research Infrastructures and projects in all scientific domains, as well as to provide a floor for the discussion of policies and incentives for innovation. If the presentations made during the day are representative of the European Research Infrastructures, then all stakeholders should feel inspired and motivated by the creativity and resourcefulness of the research community.
