The aim of the Panel has been to present to the Eu-SPRI audience the opportunities that RISIS and KNOWMAK can offer to
investigate topics related to science, technology and innovation policy, how they are likely to transform and improve
research questions that scholars can address, and how they can also contribute to enlarge and consolidate research
networks.

Key topics addressed by the Panel were:

– the value of a research infrastructure to address existing and emerging research policy issues;

– access to data and RISIS resources from different users;

– available indicators and tools.
