3rd ESFRI Stakeholder Forum Meetup

10.06.2025 to 11.06.2025

The 3rd ESFRI Stakeholder Forum Meetup: Sustainability of the Research Infrastructure ecosystem, will take place on 10-11 June 2025 in Kraków, Poland, during the Polish presidency of the Council. Conveniently timed to coincide with the 92nd ESFRI Forum Meeting, this event will bring together a diverse range of stakeholders, creating a unique opportunity for meaningful discussions and networking.  

The 3rd ESFRI Stakeholder Forum Meetup, "Sustainability of the Research Infrastructure ecosystem", aims to discuss ideas and best practices regarding the enhancement of the quality and sustainability of Research Infrastructures, foster trust and cooperation among stakeholders, and promote integration within the R&I ecosystem, including building effective synergies with Technology Infrastructures. 

The meetup will bring together key stakeholders to discuss innovative solutions and best practices to support the long-term sustainability of the Research Infrastructure ecosystem.

An Expression of Interest to attend will be published very soon.

Stay tuned for more information as they become available.

 

 

The stakeholder forum will consist of an introductory session at the beginning of each half day where 3 or 4 invited speakers will be asked to give short presentations on issues pertinent to the main theme. The participants will then be split among 4 or 5 groups to have break-out sessions discussing a number of pre-defined themes and questions. At the end of each set of breakout sessions a rapporteur from each session will report to the whole plenary audience.

DEFINITIONS

Research Infrastructures are facilities, resources and services that are used by the research communities to conduct research and foster innovation in their fields. They include: major scientific equipment (or sets of instruments), knowledge-based resources such as collections, archives and scientific data, e-infrastructures, such as data and computing systems and communication networks and any other tools that are essential to achieve excellence in research and innovation. They may be 'single-sited', 'virtual' and 'distributed' [Regulation (EU) No 1291/2013]

Technology infrastructures are facilities, equipment, capabilities and support services required to develop, test and upscale technology to advance from validation in a laboratory up to higher Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) prior to competitive market entry. They can have public, semi-public or private status. Their users are mainly industrial players, including SMEs, which seek support to develop and integrate innovative technologies towards commercialisation of new products, processes and services, whilst ensuring feasibility and regulatory compliance.
