  2. EMSO, an ESFRI Research Infrastructure 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 Ruhl et al., 2011

  3. Roadmap 2008 (44 Projects) ESFRIacts 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 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

  4. 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
