The 2nd International Call from Instruct-ERIC has been awarded, providing access for researchers in institutions that hold a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Instruct to access European facilities to help advance their ongoing research.
Instruct-ERIC, coordinator of the RI-VIS project, has developed long-standing collaborations with international institutions. Instruct holds an MOU with 11 institutions (10 in Latin America, 1 in South Africa).
The RI-VIS project has helped to reinforce existing relationships through activities such as the virtual international symposia in Africa, Latin America and also in Australia throughout 2021. Three new MOUs have been signed between Instruct and international institutions during the course of the RI-VIS project.
In partnership with EU-LAC ResInfra and iNEXT-Discovery, Instruct-ERIC has been able to award 9 funded projects – 8 from Latin American institutions and 1 from South Africa.
