2 EMSO, EMSO, a Research Infrastructure of the ESFRI Roadmap, is the European network of fixed seafloor and water column observatories constituting a distributed infrastructure for long- term monitoring of environmental processes EMSO, an ESFRI Research Infrastructure Ruhl et al., 2011

3 ESFRI ESFRI ESFRI acts on issues related to the development of high scientific quality European research infrastructures. ESFRI gives national authorities the opportunity to exchange news and to explore common and integrated initiatives for the best development and use of research infrastructures of European relevance ESFRI ESFRI mission is to support a coherent and strategy-led approach to policy-making on new and existing pan-European and global research infrastructures http://cordis.europa.eu/esfri/roadmap.htm Roadmap 2008 ( 44 Projects)

4 Scientific fields N. projects Social Sciences & Humanities 5 Environmental Sciences (ENV)10 Energy 4 Biological & Medical Sciences10 Materials & Analytical Facilities 6 Physical Sciences (PHY) & Engineering 8 e-Infrastructures 1 Total* (*10 new projects in the Roadmap 2008 with respect to 2006)44 Roadmap 2008 http://cordis.europa.eu/esfri/roadmap.htm

5 Definitions European Research Infrastructures (ERI) can adopt either a single site (SI) or a multiple site structure according to their specific characteristics and mission An ERI structured with multiple site is defined as “Distributed Infrastructure” (DI) Each ERI has a unique legal status, management structure, strategy and development plan ERI can undergo to Preparatory Phase project with the aim to design and create the legal entity managing the infrastructure (ERIC-European Research Infrastructure Consortium) http://cordis.europa.eu/esfri/roadmap.htm
