The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) is opening its doors to its scientific laboratories and facilities to people working in academia and research organisations, industry, SMEs as well as to the public and private sector.

Access to non-nuclear facilities will be made open to researchers and scientists from EU Member States, candidate countries and countries associated with Horizon2020. Nuclear facilities will be open to EU Member States, candidate countries and countries associated with Euratom. The pilot phase will take place at three facilities in Ispra, Italy, and if successful, could be rolled out in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands.
