Infrastructures plan cooperation on EU R&D missions

Facilities can support missions in myriad ways, group says

A group of European research infrastructures has unveiled a plan for how they intend to contribute to the missions being introduced to the next EU R&D programme, Horizon Europe, pledging to “collaborate amongst themselves and with the mission specialists at unprecedented levels”.

The group, called Analytical Research Infrastructures of Europe, comprises seven infrastructure organisations and associations representing some of Europe’s biggest facilities and serving more than 40,000 users across Europe and across disciplines, according to a position paper on the missions it published on 13 July.
