Preparation of common strategies for future development of RI technologies and services within broad RI communities

Proposals should analyse long-term scientific developments and trends in wide scientific domains, and how to enhance research capacities to support them. In the chosen domain, proposals should identify the future research infrastructure needs for technology or innovation, as well as service gaps in relation to key scientific challenges and policy priorities. The objective is to define common plans or roadmaps for future RI technology and services, including their digitalisation when relevant, and their long-term development pathways, taking into account the current state of the art, the international landscape and their environmental (including climate-related) impact and energy consumption.

Actions under this topic should be carried out by thematic consortia of research infrastructures. Closer collaboration with and involvement of ESFRI clusters and related research infrastructures is needed to ensure appropriate thematic coverage of the RI landscape, foster a coordinated development of these commo
