This course offers a comprehensive introduction to the marine research infrastructures highlighting their complexity in terms of operation and management. Participants will gain insights into the multifaceted aspects of research infrastructures, which represent a relatively recent reality within both the Italian and European contexts. The course provides practical examples of marine research infrastructures under ITINERIS, exploring governance models, financial considerations, policy frameworks, and the scientific data production process from sensor installation to data sharing and publication.
Besides the socio-economic relevance and the importance for advancing the S&T research, the trainees will get familiarity with the management and operation of different types of marine research infrastructures –including the different modes by which the researchers and general users can take advantage of the use of infrastructures.
