Launch of the 2015-16 ESFRI Roadmap update. Tomorrow on live stream.
The workshop "Launch of the 2015-16 ESFRI Roadmap update" is organized by CoPoRI2 , in close cooperation with ESFRI and the European Commission. It will take place on 25 September 2014 in the Hotel Savoia Excelsior Palace in Trieste, Italy. Since it is on invitation only, a live stream will be available on 25th September 2014 on 14:30 h/CET. Background informationIn its conclusions of 26th May 2014, the Council of the European Union welcomed the strategic agenda of ESFRI (European Strategy Forum for Research Infrastructures) to update its roadmap for Research Infrastructures in 2015-2016 1. This update of the roadmap will be the third since its inception by ESFRI in 2006. The ESFRI Roadmap identifies new Research Infrastructures of pan-European interest to meet the long term needs of the European research communities, covering all scientific areas. The main objective of the roadmap activity is to ensure Europe has world-class Research Infrastructures accessible to all researchers in Europe and beyond and fully exploit their potential for scientific advancement and innovation. Potential new Research Infrastructures (or major upgrades) identified by ESFRI are likely to be realized in the next 10 to 20 years. While they may have different degrees of maturity they should be supported by a relevant European partnership or intergovernmental research organisation. A growing number of countries have prepared national roadmaps that establish their prioritisation of national and pan-European Research Infrastructures, using the ESFRI Roadmap as a reference. These national Research Infrastructure roadmaps help to define national budgets, facilitate political support and allow long-term financial commitment, therefore, to achieve a clear vision of the overall European ecosystem. Objective of the workshop The objective of the workshop is to raise awareness of the scientific community about the next roadmap update in 2015-2016, and the associated landscape analysis of Research Infrastructures within their specific scientific fields. In particular the workshop aims to:
