Interplanetary Research Initiative
Interplanetary Research Initiative is a tier 3 physics technology (Computing) in Stellaris 4.5.2. Its base cost is 4,000 research. It needs Exotic Materials Labs and Colonial Centralization. It unlocks Enrichment Labs, Planetary Supercomputer and Research Institute. Console: research_technology tech_global_research_initiative.
What Interplanetary Research Initiative unlocks
Everything in the game files that lists this technology as a prerequisite; “condition” marks objects that check for it in their conditions instead.
How to get Interplanetary Research Initiative
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 65) and its weight modifiers. Tier 3 opens after 6 tier 2 technologies of the same area.
The whole research path: 5 technologies, 9,000 base research with this one

In the game
A bid for interplanetary resource pools and more flexible research grants.

}Interplanetary Research Initiative: questions
How do I get Interplanetary Research Initiative in Stellaris?
Research Exotic Materials Labs and Colonial Centralization first (5 technologies in the whole chain); then Interplanetary Research Initiative can be drawn as one of the 3 physics research options. It also has conditions (see Requirements on this page).
What does Interplanetary Research Initiative do?
It unlocks Enrichment Labs (building), Planetary Supercomputer (building) and Research Institute (building).
What is the ID of Interplanetary Research Initiative?
The technology's ID is tech_global_research_initiative. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_global_research_initiative (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Interplanetary Research Initiative cost?
4,000 physics research before modifiers. In game the cost grows with empire size (+0.2% per point above the base, common/defines) and the galaxy's tech cost setting.
