Very Large Research Infrastructures
Policy issues and options
Very Large Research Infrastructures (VLRIs) are unique, complex undertakings with
a strong international dimension that play a critical role in frontier research in
most scientific domains. VLRIs require considerable care in their construction and
operation, as well as very substantial investments and technological innovations.
Recent evolutions in the political, socio-economic and scientific context are challenging
their established planning and management models. This policy report identifies and
analyses good practices and presents a series of lessons learned regarding the establishment
of VLRIs, options for improving their use and operation, as well as more strategic
considerations that VLRI managers, funders and decision-makers should take into consideration.
