The Datasets portal provides access to a set of RISIS datasets free of charge. The access is offered through a two-step process: i) Accreditation: researchers need to register and agree on the conditions of use (good use of data, authorship, mentions to the RISIS project, agreement of posting results and aggregated datasets produced on RISIS website) via signing a charter of good use. ii) Selection: researchers need to proposes a project (200 words proposal) based upon the…

The meeting allowed team members to get to know each other and begin discussions both at a technical and policy level on opening up a variety of key European data sets in the innovation studies space..
