We define “Infrastructure” widely including not only physical laboratories and equipment, but also specific competence (personnel), and online tools/services for all aspects of research (data collection, data management, data sharing, etc.). Our infrastructure is financed partly by departmental funds and partly by external funding.
The aim of this initiative is to be a forum for internal collaboration across all environments at PSI, where ideas, experiences and requirements are shared – this should:
- Help coordinate efficient use of our facilities.
- Optimize funding from outside sources - by encouraging collaborative efforts.
- Provide transparency and guide in allocation of internal funds, for both running costs and required investments.
- Keep info of the status of equipment and other facilities, and their maintenance/update requirements short and long term.
- Help prioritize development projects at the department, share their progress, and encourage contribution/collaboration for efficient execution.
This advisory group/meeting should be able to give coordinated advice (to leadership and institute board) when budgets are planned.
