On 10th December 2024, ESFRI - European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures, released its position paper on Framework Programme 10.
Research Infrastructures (RIs) play a crucial role in supporting collaborative research, are strong magnets for talent, and bolster Europe’s scientific influence and sovereignty. RIs are at the core of the knowledge triangle of research, education and innovation, and therefore play a vital role in advancement of knowledge, the promotion of open science, and the efficiency of the research and innovation environment.
To tap into its full potential RIs must be seen and enhanced as strategic assets in policy making and across borders of sectoral domains to contribute to the European strategic agenda and the full realisation of the European Research Area. Therefore, RIs should be considered not only as a cross-cutting element of the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (FP10) but of the entire EU endeavour.
