The foresight study "Future Research and Technology infrastructures for Europe" is financed by the European Commission (DG RTD) and carried out by Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI, Technopolis Consulting Group Belgium, and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. The study was granted under the multi-year framework contract Foresight on Demand. More informatin about FoD is available here and about the foresight study here

The goal of the foresight study is to identify and explore possible scenarios for a future “pan-European ecosystem of research and technology infrastructures”. Specifically, the following objectives will be addressed:

1. Identify the trends, megatrends and weak signals for the long-term evolution, potentials and needs of RTI from a European perspective.

2. Proposal of plausible scenarios for RTIs, that consider European RTIs in their ecosystems and their contribution to European scientific and technological competitiveness.

3. Map the implications of the identified trends and proposed scenarios for European RTIs governance and policy, mainly from an EU perspective. 

During the first phase of this project that will run untill the end of 2026, the European Research and Technology Infrastructure stakeholders will be mapped. Therefore, the project team invites stakeholders interested in the study or willing to participate in the project workshops and events to reach out to matthias.deschryvere@vtt.fi and simone.kimpeler@isi.fraunhofer.de.

Theresa PCP: ZAS participates in research developing an on-site system to decontaminate hospital wastewater

Funded under Horizon Europe (HORIZON-HLTH-2024-CARE-14-01), running from 2025 to 2029, the THERESA PCP aims to launch a pre-commercial procurement process (PCP) based on the development of an environmentally sustainable on-site system to decontaminate hospital wastewater. Ziekenhuis aan de Stroom (ZAS) plays an important role in the project by contributing real-world insights from a large and diverse hospital network. Read more about the project in this testimonial.
