This briefing note presents the main results of Module 2 of the RIS4CIVIS Project, focused on sharing research infrastructures across CIVIS Alliance member universities, together with a mapped catalogue of open research infrastructures, a joint strategy for a CIVIS Research Infrastructure Network, and a proposed CIVIS Research Infrastructure Label.

Research Infrastructures (RIs) are highly attractive elements for researchers, representing the physical or virtual place open to all, allowing to conduct cutting-edge research, to experiment and to innovate.

According to these premises, the Module 2 of RIS4CIVIS project (Horizon 2020) aims to find a way to seamlessly share Research Infrastructures of the CIVIS Alliance member universities. We started with mapping the open RIs interested to joint this effort, followed by a benchmarking of the main policies regarding the usage of the RIs and an overview of the most frequent barriers hampering their openness and shared use. An IT tool and online interactive platform showing all CIVIS open RIs in CIVIS was developed, and a Joint strategy for the creation of a CIVIS Research Infrastructure Network and a CIVIS Research Label were created.

  • IMAGINING HOMELAND: PALMYRA'S (IN)TANGIBLE HERITAGE AND THE VOICES OF DISPLACEMENT

    This volume is a monograph documenting the virtual reconstruction projects of the Temple of Baalshamin, one of the most significant forms of tangible heritage belonging to the Syrian community, destroyed as a result of terrorist attacks. Through a series of workshops with Syrian communities—including refugees, displaced persons, and individuals who have experienced either forced or voluntary migration—the virtual reconstruction is presented as a process that supports social inclusion and the reconstruction of cultural identity.
