💡 The Role of ERICs in the 10th Framework Porgramme (FP10)💡
In an era of rapid technological evolution, global interconnectedness, and societal challenges, robust Research Infrastructures (RIs) in Europe are more crucial than ever. The European Research Infrastructure Consortia (ERICs) play a vital role in shaping Europe’s scientific and innovation landscape. With 28 ERICs currently operating, their strategic importance is clear. They not only drive groundbreaking research but also align with EU policy goals, addressing pressing issues like climate change, health, and digitalization. As the European Commission continues its support under Horizon Europe, the upcoming 10th Framework Programme (FP10) holds the potential to amplify their impact even further. 🔬🌐
The ERIC Forum underscores the need for increased funding, enhanced governance, and greater collaboration with industry to ensure ERICs remain pivotal in Europe’s research ecosystem. A focus on inclusivity, especially in Central and Eastern Europe, and providing equitable access to ERIC services for researchers across the continent are key to fostering a balanced, high-impact research environment. For ERICs to thrive, continued investment and strategic consolidation of existing infrastructures is essential.
🌍💡 The future of European science and innovation hinges on strengthening these critical assets, making FP10 a cornerstone for their sustainability and growth.
