What is ESFRI?
• European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI)
• Launched in April 2002
• Brings together representatives of the 25 EU Member States and 7 Associated States, appointed by Research Ministers, and one representative of the European Commission (EC)

ESFRI’s role and ambitions
• To jointly reflect on the development of strategic policies for pan-European Research Infrastructures;
• To prepare a European Roadmap (with regular updates as different areas mature);
• To act as an incubator for RI projects with pan-European interest… but it is not a decision making body

Objectives of European Roadmap
• Identification of new research infrastructures or major upgrades which correspond to the needs of European research communities
• Tool for decision makers, preventing over-provision of facilities in particular areas
• Providing a focus for long term budgetary planning by funding actors
