PERIIA Association - Pan-European Research Infrastructure Industry Liaison Officers' Association

The PERIIA Network has the aim of paving the way and preparing for the initiation of the Pan-European Research Infrastructure ILO Association as a formal European association. The members of the PERIIA Network give the mandate for this preparatory work to the board in view to establish a legal statute for the future association. The main objectives of PERIIA are to: Be a key intermediary between the European supplier business/industry and big science organisations for procurement, innovation and tech-transfer opportunities. Enhance the big science organisations’ interaction with business/industry in order to create an integrated and sustainable big science market. Raise awareness and improve access for business/industries (particularly SMEs) entering and acting on the big science market. Provide a forum for the exchange of best practices on how to work as an ILO. Enhance the cohesion and functioning of ILO networks at relevant Big Science organisations. Act as a consultative reference body for other European/International stakeholders.
