'For success in research, access to high-quality research facilities is essential'

The Faculty of Science opens up its research facilities by introducing the 'Open Access Research Infrastructure' (OARI) portal. The portal contains an online database with the available research instruments and related expertise. These are accessible to researchers of universities, other knowledge institutions and industry.

At the Faculty of Science we believe that facility sharing contributes to new partnerships, attract talented researchers and encourage local entrepreneurship. Sharing resources and expertise potentiates individual efforts increasing the efficiency of scientific output. Moreover access to publicly funded research infrastructure is part of our societal responsibility.

We thus encourage interested parties to visit the portal and connect with our researchers. Furthermore, if you're interested in sharing your own publicly funded research instruments, please join OARI.

If you have any further questions, please contact us directly:
