RI-SCALE
Third Competence Center and Consortium Meeting
Jun 21, 2026 - Jun 23, 2026 | Graz, Austria
The RI-SCALE project is moving into its next phase of technical collaboration. From June 22 to June 23, 2026, consortium partners will gather at the Medical University of Graz in Austria for the Third Competence Center and Consortium Meeting. Hosted by BBMRI-ERIC, this meeting is open to the entire RI-SCALE consortium.
The primary objective of this 1.5-day technical event is to advance the project towards its core goals: configuring the “Data Exploitation Platforms” at the compute centres and connected Research Infrastructure (RI) data holdings, and validating those setups through scientific and technical use cases.

Program Highlights
The formal technical meeting officially starts after lunch on Monday afternoon, June 22. This opening block will focus on practical status updates regarding platform setups across compute sites, data holdings, and current data spaces. Tuesday, June 23, is entirely dedicated to collaborative working groups and interactive sessions, where teams will spend the day mapping out the immediate next steps for key project pillars, specifically data management, AI integration, and access management, to ensure everything works smoothly across the network. Alongside these core sessions, attendees can also participate in some side events such as a Monday morning tour of the Medical University of Graz Biobank.Anticipated Impact
“The Competence Center meeting in Graz meeting marks an important step forward in the development of the Data Exploitation Platform (DEP) and the continuation of the RI-SCALE project. This event provides a valuable opportunity to further evolve and strengthen the community around the DEP, fostering collaboration and shared progress, ” says Ville Tenhunen, RI-SCALE technical coordinator.
