KPIs & Sustainability

The continuum of the value of Research Infrastructures, as innovation hubs and pillars of the science system, is based on their long-term sustainability, which represents a crucial, important and challenging aspect, not only for the infrastructure but also for policy makers and funders.

Impact assessment and monitoring have been defined by policy makers as an important element for the long-term sustainability of Research Infrastructures.

The section below includes input related to KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), societal impact, monitoring, evaluation, and sustainability of Research Infrastructures.
