A Strategic Vision for European Life Science Research Infrastructures in FP10

A joint position paper has been released by the the European Life Science Research Infrastructures (LS-RIs). It presents key messages for the upcoming Framework Programme for Research (FP10) and is timed with the current evaluation of Horizon Europe. The paper titled “Driving Innovation and Collaboration: A Strategic Vision for European Life Science Research Infrastructures in Framework Programme 10 (FP10)” 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.

European Life Science Research Infrastructures are vital for science. Adequate FP10 funding will drive innovation and help Europe achieve long-term scientific, social, and economic progress.
