Topic description

ExpectedOutcome:

Project results are expected to contribute to all the following expected outcomes:

• enhanced efficiency, impact and visibility of ESFRI strategy and actions;
• better structured and strengthened European research infrastructure ecosystem;
• reinforced global competitiveness of the European Research Area;
• coordination and alignment of EU and national priorities for RIs.

Scope:

The European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) brings together policy makers, funding bodies and the scientific community to identify joint investment priorities for pan-European research infrastructures as well as foster their implementation, sustainability and impact. A comprehensive and efficient support structure is essential for the effective execution of ESFRI tasks and activities.

In this respect, proposals should support ESFRI in carrying out the following activities:

• development and publishing of the ESFRI Roadmap;
• development and execution of the ESFRI communication and outreach strategy, including organisation of ESFRI-led conferences and outreach events;
• strengthen ESFRI analytical capacity, including through the use of external expertise in support of ESFRI policy and the ESFRI Roadmap processes;
• effective evaluation and monitoring of research infrastructures on the ESFRI Roadmap through appropriate ICT and analytical tools;
• fostering cooperation, exchange of experiences and good practices between the research infrastructures, their managers and stakeholders, as well as the funding bodies, including managing authorities of Cohesion policy programmes and policy makers;
• ensuring cooperation of ESFRI with the EOSC as well as with any other relevant bodies and stakeholders at European or international level.

Cross-cutting Priorities:
EOSC and FAIR data
