On 18 December 2024, the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) published its Activity Report 2021-2023, providing a detailed account of its contributions to strengthening the European Research Area (ERA). The report captures ESFRI’s strategic achievements, showcasing its role in fostering collaboration, innovation, and resilience within Europe’s Research Infrastructure ecosystem.
One of the most significant milestones was the publication of the 2021 ESFRI Roadmap, released in December 2021. The report outlines Europe’s existing Research Infrastructures (RIs), identifies gaps and scientific needs, and sets the stage for future strategic investments. During this period, ESFRI also introduced a new methodology for the Landscape Analysis (LA), decoupling it from the Roadmap to provide a standalone perspective on the RI landscape. Data collection for the LA was completed in 2023, with the final document expected in 2024.
