This PSF review will address the 28 Greek Research Infrastructures (RIs) included in and supported by the National Multi-Annual Budgeting Plan 2014-20, following three areas:
- RIs governance and management efficiency
- Policy Assessment of the development, operation, and sustainability of the RIs.
- National framework for the RIs
- Institutional framework assessment, incl. recommendations for measures and mechanisms for future sustainability.
- Potential for further development of common processes / tools (e.g. intellectual and industrial property, human resources, access policy, public procurement, creation of spin offs and start-ups, Technology Parks).
- Articulations between the policy processes related to Ris and to National Smart Specialization Strategy in view of ensuring alignment.
- Indicators for monitoring and assessment of the Ris
- Development of recommendations for indicators to be used for monitoring and evaluating the National Ris, including international benchmarking.
For each of these three areas, the review will provide policy recommendations to increase the contribution of the National RIs to the Greek R&I ecosystem concerning:
- enhancing socio-economic impacts, innovation potential exploitation, technology transfer, access policy efficiency and business collaboration,
- reinforcing international value chains and European networks and facilitating effective internationalisation policies,
- boosting the scientific and technological excellence of the RIs and their role in attracting and retaining talents.
The expected outcome of the PSF activity is a report, based on an analysis of the current situation, performance and challenges concerning the 28 RIs, that will provide a set of concrete operational recommendations. The recommendations will be backed by evidence, best practice and analyses of similar approaches and reforms introduced in other countries and it should be feasible to implement them in the national context.

The summary article presents key findings from the PSF Country review of Greece.
Over the course of 10 months, experts developed recommendations, setting out principles for sustainable national research infrastructures (NRI).
Overall, Greece is on a good path, however there is still work to be done. Analysis of the NRIs showed that these infrastructures deserve recognition, but further effort and investment is required.
This PSF country background report examines the Greek R&I policy that supports the development and upgrading of the National Research Infrastructures (NRIs). Its main purpose is to provide relevant context on the NRIs included in and supported by the National Multi-Annual Budgeting Plan 2014-2020. It’s objective is to assist the PSF expert panel in preparing their review report, which addresses three specific issues for the future development of the NRIs:
This summary factsheet of the PSF Country Greece includes an outline of the three focus areas, the names of the experts, national peers and DG R&I Policy Officer as well as the scheduled meetings. The overarching aim is to share the core information with all the stakeholders.
The review of the Greek national research infrastructures (NRIs), carried out by a panel of five experts and three national peers, gives recommendations to increase the contribution of the NRIs to the Greek R&I system and their impact with respect to smart specialisation priorities.
