esfri projects
The ESFRI Projects are RIs in their Preparation Phase, which have been selected for the excellence of their scientific case and for their maturity, according to a sound expectation that the Project will enter the Implementation Phase within the ten-year term. They are included in the Roadmap to point out the strategic importance they represent for the European Research Area, and to support their timely implementation as new RIs or major updates of existing RIs. The Projects can be at different stages of their development towards implementation according to their respective date of inclusion in the Roadmap.
esfri landmarks
The ESFRI Landmarks are RIs that were implemented, or reached an advanced Implementation Phase under the Roadmap, and that represent major elements of competitiveness of the ERA. The Landmarks can be already delivering science services and granting user access, or can be in advanced stage of construction with a clear schedule for the start of the Operation Phase. The Landmarks need continuous support and advice for successful completion, operation and – if necessary – upgrade to achieve optimal management and maximum return on investment.
A short description of each ESFRI Project and ESFRI Landmark is given as well as updated information about the legal status, the timeline for the preparation/implementation/operation, the estimated costs and the interconnections with other domains when analysed – Projects and Landmarks in Operation Phase or in advanced Preparation Phase.
These data were updated by Projects and Landmarks according to the definitions described in the ESFRI Roadmap 2021 GuideESFRI Public Roadmap 2021 Guide, September 2019
https://www.esfri.eu/sites/default/files/ESFRI_Roadmap2021_Public_Guide.pdf and the methodology implemented in the ESFRI Monitoring System (MoS)ESFRI Monitoring System (MoS)
