Abstract
The European landscape of research infrastructures rapidly changed over the course of the last 20 years with an increase in the number of infrastructures under development, but also the progressive setup of a coordinated policy at the continental level through several instruments:
- a scientific cooperation framework: the European Research Area (ERA);
- a specific funding instrument in the recent research framework programs of the European Commission: the “Infradev” calls for proposals;
- a forum that gathers research ministries of the member states to align their investment policies: the European Strategy Forum for Research Infrastructures (ESFRI);
- and a legal status specifically dedicated to research infrastructures in European law: the European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC).
Katharina C. Cramer and Olof Hallonsten (eds.), Big Science and Research Infrastructures in Europe, Northampton, Edward Elgar Publishing, 2020, https://doi.org/10.4337/9781839100017
will guide us during this seminar session, dedicated to European research infrastructures and how they shape knowledge production on the continent. The historical analysis provided by the book will be put into perspective with an analysis of the ESFRI framework as it developed during the recent years.
