Core Facilities
The Core Facilities Working group was established in 2015 to create a forum for discussion of core facility-specific challenges.
Current focus is on the following:
- Sharing best practices and expertise in core facility management
- Comparing indicators across institutes: financial, personnel, operations, research, training, and performance evaluation
- Defining opportunities and procedures for capacity sharing between EU-LIFE institutes
- Collaboration on the level of training courses, grant applications, etc…
- Data management issues (together with IT Working Group)
- Participation in a dialogue to foster European funding opportunities for core facilities and core facility networks
- Policy work on visibility of core facilities and small-medium scale research infrastructures
