Page 24 - Roadmap

MOMENTUM OF INNOVATION

The three dimensions require different depths of monitoring. The National Roadmap is not intended to provide a detailed
description of the monitoring system in relation to domestic RIs or international memberships. However, there are some
clearly definable policy indicators, which play key role in the description of RI performance. Importantly, indicators are
expected to fit with the indicator system used in the S3 and the RDI Strategy, as well as with international methodologies
to ensure international comparability. The brief presentation of the key policy indicators can be informative for those who
are already or will be working in the context of research infrastructures. These topics will be highlighted below.

Detailed monitoring tasks related to the ELI must primarily follow the ESFRI methodological requirements but they
are not described in detail in the National Roadmap.

As regards the monitoring of memberships in ESFRI research infrastructures, the following aspects are considered im-
portant:

• the number and name of institutions and organisations represented by the researchers using the international
research infrastructure;
• the number of Hungarian researchers/PhD students using the international research infrastructure;
• the number of new publications resulting from the use of the international research infrastructure;
• the number of ongoing international research collaborations implemented in the framework of the international RI;
• international research cooperation or project established with new actors in the research sector using the RI.

The monitoring of the domestic research infrastructures primarily focus on the following areas:

• scientific excellence and achievements of the researcher community around the RI;
• the international relations and network for research cooperation developed by the researcher community;
• the interdisciplinarity of the researcher community of the RI;
• the level of integration with education;
• the openness of the RI;
• the innovation potential of the RI (number of industry cooperation projects and patents);
• the financing model and sustainability of the establishment and operation of the RI.
