Discussion on HORIZON-INFRA-2026-DEV-01-02 call
by Schmitt, Ines-Marie 29 Oct '25

29 Oct '25

Dear all, On top of our 2 running polls for the next virtual meeting <https://terminplaner6.dfn.de/p/6fea82af61aa1d8151c284400ff3f016-1428571> and in-person meeting <https://terminplaner6.dfn.de/de/e/2d01bdcb7beb93f6452428266bcbf4fb-1428597> , I ask you to also answer this third poll <https://terminplaner6.dfn.de/p/5058c19c29a4466e82c36672cf5510f9-1452956> to mark your availabilities for a 2h meeting in December on the HORIZON-INFRA-2026-DEV-01-02 call only. The Chairs have noticed that the focus of the call is not really on the Thematic EOSC node enrolment, EOSC is part of it, but the call covers many other topics, importantly the access to the RIs. Based on the discussion we have had with the Commission, they are expecting one proposal by domain, and we need to agree on the strategy for the ENVRI response to the call. To prepare for the discussion, the call text is attached.

ENVRI Board meeting minutes
by Schmitt, Ines-Marie 22 Oct '25

22 Oct '25

Dear ENVRI Board members, Attached you find the draft for the meeting minutes from our in-person meeting in Marseille. As there were several people not able to participate, the document is rather detailed this time. Please have a look especially at the action points per session and remember to vote for the next 2 Board meeting dates and timeslots. I shared the links earlier and they can be found in the document as well, but I send them here again because there are only very few answers so far: Virtual Meeting January: https://terminplaner6.dfn.de/de/p/6fea82af61aa1d8151c284400ff3f016-1428571 In-Person Meeting March / April: https://terminplaner6.dfn.de/de/e/2d01bdcb7beb93f6452428266bcbf4fb-1428597 For those who were present, please feel free to comment the draft or edit with track changes active. The participant list and the material has also been updated in the meeting folder on Redmine: https://iagos-comm.fz-juelich.de/projects/envri-board/dmsf?folder_id=1109 Best, Ines (she/her) ______________________________ Ines Schmitt ENVRI Board Secretary Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH Institute of Climate and Energy Systems (ICE-3): Troposphere Tel.: +49 (0) 2461 61-96419 Email: <mailto:i.schmitt@fz-juelich.de> i.schmitt(a)fz-juelich.de ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH 52425 Jülich Sitz der Gesellschaft: Jülich Eingetragen im Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Düren Nr.

Information on some important meeting outcomes and next ENVRI Board meetings
by Schmitt, Ines-Marie 16 Oct '25

16 Oct '25

Dear ENVRI Board members, Thank you for a very fruitful in-person meeting in Marseille. The minutes will be shared as draft next week for your comments, as I need some time to wrap up everything. Until then, I want to provide you already with some important information beforehand and ask you to read all those points thoroughly: 1. On our shared Redmine folder, you can now also find the General Documents <https://iagos-comm.fz-juelich.de/projects/envri-board/dmsf?folder_id=1110> where material will be shared which is not part of only one specific meeting. Eija for example will share the slides regarding the Board governance later on. 2. I added a Wiki page <https://iagos-comm.fz-juelich.de/projects/envri-board/wiki> with names and mail addresses of Board members as well as other contacts of interest. These names (except the other contacts) were taken from our mailing list where I am writing this mail to. I ask all members to cross-check for all parties and let me know about changes (e.g. people that have dropped out / are new in and need to be added). The list is based on the 3-tier structure we have as governance, and RIs / projects are filled in and sorted as they appear on envri.eu <https://envri.eu/governance/> . Please also let me know about updates on our webpage; e.g. when a project is promoted to an RI / ERIC and therefore changes the tier. 3. We decided to have at least 4 ENVRI Board meetings per year (more information on that in the minutes) with 3 being online and 1 in-person, preferably in combination with a meeting several Board members already intend to join on-site - and depending on the need for additional meetings. 4. For the next virtual meeting we decided on the mid of January. Please fill in this poll <https://terminplaner6.dfn.de/p/6fea82af61aa1d8151c284400ff3f016-1428571> to indicate your availabilities. 5. The next in-person meeting should be end of March / beginning of April in Brussels, due to several upcoming calls that we need to discuss about. Please also fill in this second poll <https://terminplaner6.dfn.de/de/e/2d01bdcb7beb93f6452428266bcbf4fb-1428597> accordingly to help us find the best fitting option. Most likely we will plan with either a lunch-to-lunch meeting or 1.5 days, depending on the agenda. 6. For those who were not present: For now, we will keep the virtual meetings on Zoom with pausing the AI Companion (that assists me with the minutes) and the recording for sensitive issues. I will have a look for a European solution on the longer term to switch to. 7. For those who were present: after her ENVRINNOV session, Marina asked for a participant list with contact information to come back to you and your feedback regarding the outcomes of our session directly. If that is not okay with you, please let me know within the next days. I intend to send her the list on Monday next week (20th Oct). 8. Marina also asked to have the option of contacting the Board directly when your input is needed. I will therefore give her permission to also write directly to our mailing list regarding requests for feedback on ENVRINNOV. The mailing list is managed by me, and mails from outside of the members need my approval to be delivered. 9. For those who presented during our meeting: Please remember to send me your materials / slides, if not done already, so I can upload them to the respective Redmine folder <https://iagos-comm.fz-juelich.de/projects/envri-board/dmsf?folder_id=1109> , or feel free to also do so yourself. Thanks for your input and best, Ines (she/her) ______________________________ Ines Schmitt ENVRI Board Secretary Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH Institute of Climate and Energy Systems (ICE-3): Troposphere Tel.: +49 (0) 2461 61-96419 Email: <mailto:i.schmitt@fz-juelich.de> i.schmitt(a)fz-juelich.de ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH 52425 Jülich Sitz der Gesellschaft: Jülich Eingetragen im Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Düren Nr.

expression of interest in ERIC Forum Vice Chair position
by Eija Juurola 09 Oct '25

09 Oct '25

Dear ENVRI Board colleagues, This mail is for information especially for the ERIC directors that were not able to join our meeting in Marseille. As the ERIC directors saw in the mail sent by Emmanuel earlier this week, I have sent my expression of interest on the ERIC Forum Vice Chair position. I was asked by Bonnie Wolf-Boenish, CESSDA Executive Director, to step up as a candidate for the Vice Chair position to form a team with her, and to support her in leading the Forum, and after a long consideration I said yes. I feel that we would form a good team. Main motivation for my decision was, however, that in this role I could bring ENVRIs more in centre of ERIC Forum. However, as was discussed in the ENVRI Board earlier this week, I was not fully aware of the rules for the representation of domains in ExBo, when applying. Due to these rules, if I am elected, it means that the position of ENVRI ExBo member will change to Vice Chair position. In our ENVRI Board meeting today, the ERIC members present endorsed the possibility to have this role for an ENVRI member. I attach here again my motivation letter, as info for whole ENVRI Board. The election will be held in the next ERIC Forum meeting, and each ERIC director will be able to vote. With best regards Eija [cid:image001.png@01DC3914.AFC9F650] Eija Juurola Director General +358 50 4154833 ACTRIS – The Aerosol, Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure www.actris.eu<http://www.actris.eu/> | LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/actris-ri/> | YouTube<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ35hG3h4wu6yuefuNeza1A> | BlueSky<https://bsky.app/profile/actris.bsky.social>
