Abstract

The dataset is related to the Horizon 2020 Una.Resin project Work Package 2 mapping exercise (Task 2.2) on Research Infrastructures and Resources (RIRs). This task was carried out from February to August 2021 and was aimed at understanding and benchmarking the existing strategies, policies and initiatives on RIRs of the eight Una Europa universities participating in the project (University of Edinburgh; University of Helsinki; University of Bologna; Complutense University of Madrid; Freie Universität Berlin; Katholieke Universiteit Leuven; Jagiellonian University; Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne) in order to identify the complementary strengths, opportunities and barriers for opening-up or sharing research infrastructures and resources across the Alliance. The questionnaire had three specific objectives: (i) to understand the national and regional policies that impact the institutional frameworks on RIRs; (ii) to map and understand the policies, funding mechanisms and organisational models/management of RIRs at the different institutions; (iii) to form an initial idea about the complementary strengths but also the possible barriers for opening or sharing RIRs. The questionnaire was targeted at the research service professionals and policy-makers at each of the eight Una Europa universities.
