This chapter examines Research Infrastructures (RIs) as complex, socially constructed meta-organisations that bring together autonomous yet interdependent partners. It explores the governance challenges arising from coordinating distributed nodes, managing common-pool resources, and balancing collective and individual interests. The chapter reviews key governance models adopted by European RIs, highlighting how formal rules, decision-making bodies, and organisational arrangements shape effectiveness and legitimacy. It argues that robust, multilayered governance is essential for sustaining collaboration.

Abstract
This chapter examines Research Infrastructures (RIs) as complex, socially constructed meta-organisations that bring together autonomous yet interdependent partners. It explores the governance challenges arising from coordinating distributed nodes, managing common-pool resources, and balancing collective and individual interests. The chapter reviews key governance models adopted by European RIs, highlighting how formal rules, decision-making bodies, and organisational arrangements shape effectiveness and legitimacy. It argues that robust, multilayered governance is essential for sustaining collaboration.
