The ESFRI Roadmap 2026 Info Day is organised by the European Strategy Forum for Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) and hosted by the European Commission in Brussels. The ESFRI Strategic Report on RIs in Europe, known as the ESFRI Roadmap, is the European Roadmap for research infrastructures, which informs on the creation of and access to large European Research Infrastructures with the vision to expand European scientific excellence. The first edition dates from 2006 and has since been updated five times (2008, 2010, 2016, 2018 and 2021). The info day is organised to kick-off the subsequent process of updating its Roadmap. The publication of the updated Roadmap is expected in December 2026. The ESFRI Landscape analysis report 2024 (executive summary), published for the first time since 2016 as a standalone document, provides the framework for the next ESFRI Roadmap 2026. During the info day top Roadmap stakeholders will provide a thorough presentation of the requirements, the procedure and the methodology of selection of proposals for new RI projects to enter the Roadmap. There will also be further presentations on the monitoring of ESFRI RI projects already on the Roadmap.

Attendance requires physical presence and registration is open to all, until maximum venue capacity is reached. The organisers expect that:

  • max. 1 person per existing ESFRI RI project or other stakeholder organisation can be accommodated
  • at least one person per provisional new ESFRI project proposal can be accommodated

Expressions of interest to attend the info day need to be submitted via the registration form by the end of June. A follow-up confirmation email is expected to be send during the first week of July.

YoPA – Youth-centered participatory action for a healthy lifestyle

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa.  By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
