OECD Policy Report on Very Large Research Infrastructures

Very Large Research Infrastructures (VLRIs) are unique, complex undertakings with a strong international dimension that play a critical role in frontier research in most scientific domains. Recent evolutions in the political, socio-economic and scientific context are challenging their established planning and management models. 

This policy report identifies and analyses good practices and presents a series of lessons learned regarding the establishment of VLRIs, options for improving their use and operation. The report also includes more strategic considerations that VLRI managers, funders and decision-makers should take into consideration.
