The Economics of Big Science: Examining Socio-Economic Impacts and Best Practices - 2nd Edition Workshop [May/2023]
In May 2023, the second
“Economics of Big Science” workshop was held in Paris organised by the European
Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the European Intergovernmental
Research Organisation forum (EIROforum), and ESA. The event targeted an
inter-institutional exchange on the role of public investments made in research
infrastructures and Big Science projects for economic development, as well as
reviewing different approaches to assess their economic impact beyond their
core scientific mission on the global and regional scale. This meeting also
held the objective to create a forum for exchanging best practices that can
maximize the impact of such projects.
For these, a wide range of
speakers were present from international institutions, as well as, from
multiple leading business and science universities in Europe. The full list of
contributors and a detailed breakdown of the discussed points will be available
in the upcoming joint publication “The economics of Big Science – 2nd
Edition”.
