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:
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.

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
