Research Infrastrutures Catalogue
Research infrastructures offer highly useful resources for researchers and research communities to conduct cutting-edge research.
What Agora Offers
Agora’s Research Infrastructures catalogue is a powerful tool to discover, promote, and connect with a wide array of research infrastructures across partner institutions. The platform offers:
- A structured, searchable catalogue of available research infrastructures.
- Filtering options by scientific domain, keywords, and home institution.
- Direct contact features for enquiries and further collaboration.
- Visibility and promotion of each institution’s technical and scientific capabilities.
We felt the urgency to better organise and showcase our resources.- University Research Infrastructure Manager
Why Agora?
For Universities and Research Infrastructure Managers:
Agora directly addresses the pressing needs of infrastructure managers and administrative staff who have long faced challenges in promoting their institutions’ resources effectively:
- Improved internal and external visibility of labs, technical services, and specialised equipment.
- Centralised, user-friendly access to structured, reliable information.
“Companies weren’t fully aware of our research infrastructures.”
For Researchers and End Users:
For researchers, especially early-career scientists and doctoral students, Agora simplifies and streamlines the discovery and access to infrastructure resources:
- Reliable, updated information on RIs across multiple universities.
- Less reliance on word-of-mouth or random searches to find suitable facilities.
- Trusted institutional framework ensures a smoother, more secure contact process.
- Increased opportunities for collaboration and researcher mobility.
- Support in the exploration phase, where researchers may not yet know what’s available or most appropriate.
I trust a catalogue curated by the alliance network.
An official system gives more confidence than searching on Google.
Agora empowers research through access, visibility and connection, building a dynamic ecosystem.
