Learning and training through joint development of instruments and tools
This pathway explores impacts related to activities that involve the RI and external, public or private entities that jointly develop tools, instruments, processes, solutions, etc. The notion of specialised procurement is included as it relates to the commissioning of specific products and solutions that are not readily available on the market (as in P1). This pathway is expected to follow closely innovation activities around the RI and may be of particular importance to RIs that are in the design, construction or upgrading phase of their lifecycle.
