ERIC Forum


The ERIC Forum was formed in 2017, following up on the half-yearly networking events initiated by the European Commission (EC) to address and discuss with the ERICs the implementation of the ERIC regulation.

The ERIC Forum’s aim is to advance operations of ERICs and to strategically contribute to the development of ERIC related policies. Euro-BioImaging participates and contributes to the discussions in the Forum, particularly on the policy areas that affect European Research Infrastructure Consortia, such as the role of RIs in the ERA, funding instruments for RIs.
