New ESFRI Report on Research Infrastructure Funding Published

ESFRI has released a new report addressing the funding landscape of European Research Infrastructures (RIs), based on responses from 54 RIs across 19 Member States. The report identifies key challenges, including disparities in funding mechanisms between distributed and single-sited RIs and the need for greater transparency in funding sources and access cost calculations.

The findings highlight the critical role of national and ESFRI roadmaps in shaping a coherent European RI strategy, ensuring long-term sustainability and efficiency. The report also presents recommendations for improving funding models, fostering collaboration, and enhancing financial planning across the RI ecosystem.
