European Life Science RIs Position Paper on FP10

Driving Innovation and Collaboration: A Strategic Vision for European Life Science Research Infrastructures in Framework Programme 10


The European Life Science Research Infrastructures (LS-RIs) have released a joint position paper titled “Driving Innovation and Collaboration: A Strategic Vision for European Life Science Research Infrastructures in Framework Programme 10 (FP10).” This paper presents key messages for the upcoming Framework Programme for Research (FP10) and is timed with the current evaluation of Horizon Europe. It aims to influence the development of research, technology, and innovation policies beyond 2027, ensuring that FP10 priorities include essential fields of life science research supported by Research Infrastructures.

The key messages for consideration are:

  • Strengthening established European Research Infrastructures as strategic assets.
    • Securing adequate funding.
    • Fostering use and visibility of RIs.
    • Providing cluster funding.
    • Allocating resources for impact assessment.
  • Leveraging the emergent synergies of INFRA-ERV projects and continue TNA budget.

As Europe prepares for FP10,i t is crucial to ensure that LS-RIs continue to drive scientific innovation and foster collaboration.
