The European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) presented the first ever European Roadmap for Research infrastructures on 19 October 2006. The document presents 35 large-scale research infrastructures projects, identified by ESFRI as being of key importance for the development of science and innovation in Europe. The Roadmap will allow a common European approach to the development of such facilities, support the definition of priorities and aid the pooling of the significant financial resources needed for their development. Research infrastructures are large-scale facilities, major pieces of research equipment, sets of instruments, databases and networks that aid scientists in their work. Examples of such facilities in the Roadmap include large-scale laser systems, deep sea floor observatories, bio-banks and the European Extremely Large Telescope. |
