Infrastructure advisers formalise assessment process

Common process should be tweaked for individual infrastructures, group says

The body that advises EU policymakers on how they should allocate funding for research infrastructures has proposed a “common approach” for monitoring the performance of such facilities.

The approach from a working group of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures, published on 16 January, includes a set of key performance indicators that Esfri will use to review whether the infrastructures it has awarded ‘landmark’ status should continue to be priorities for further funding.
