ESFRI Landmark Monitoring report 2022–2024 is published
ESFRI has published the final Landmark Monitoring report 2022–2024. The report summarises the results of the first pilot monitoring round, which involved 30 ESFRI Landmarks. It gives a detailed overview of how the monitoring was carried out, highlights the main findings from three different monitoring groups, and shares insights from the “Lessons Learnt” analysis. In addition, the report offers useful suggestions for improving the setup and execution of future monitoring rounds.
The main goal of the monitoring was to encourage the ongoing progress of ESFRI Landmarks, and to give a clearer picture of how Research Infrastructures across Europe are performing, how sustainable they are, and what impact they have. The findings confirm that the Landmarks are scientifically excellent and play an important strategic role, but they also show that there is room for improvement, especially regarding KPI systems and securing stable, long-term funding. To help with future monitoring, a practical manual with step-by-step guidance is also being prepared.
