The Horizon 2020 project "Towards a New EU-LAC partnership in Research Infrastructures” known to everyone involved as just ResInfra, set up bi-regional Open Science collaboration between Europe and Latin American and Caribbean countries to establish how Research Infrastructures can cooperate to address environmental issues, including deforestation, the collateral effects of mining, animal and plant species threatened with extinction, drought, the melting of the glaciers, rising sea levels, amongst others, and to learn from each other.
In Season 3, Episode 17 of the 'A Window on Science' podcast - "Europe -Latin American and Caribbean partnerships" - Maite Irazábal Plá, the LifeWatch EU-LAC Fundraising, Networking and Projects Office, emphasises the importance of building long-term relationships with the partner countries of Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia and Uruguay, and thanks the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation and the FECYT, the Foundation for Science and Technology, for their support. Although the ResInfra project came to an end in February 2023, the scientific and political dialogue will now develop in four pilots with European Infrastructures in the fields of Structural Biology, Cultural heritage, the Transdisciplinary application of computation, and in ecosystems and biodiversity research, this last in partnership with LifeWatch ERIC.
