Advice please

Dear colleagues, As you’ll know, I’m new into the European RI/ ERIC scene. At present, EMPHASIS is receiving numerous requests during ‘funding proposal season’ to serve on the Advisory Board of various proposals being developed (Cluster calls or other programmes). I’m interested to know how other RIs handle this? There is an obvious resource impost (time etc) but no resource allocation from the project for such (at least this is my understanding). But there may be strategic and other value derived from providing such a service to projects. Also, it is not known at the time of committing to join any such AB whether the project will indeed be funded (odds being low, but not easily predicted). I’d be very grateful for insights that any of you are willing to share by return email, either reply-all (if you think others might be interested), or directly to me, about how your RI handles such requests- whether you have a cap on the number you can accommodate at any given time, or if you have a policy or transparent principles that guide which you say ‘yes’ to and which you don’t. I know everyone’s inboxes constantly groan with requests, but if anyone can spare me a couple of minutes to share their expertise on this topic, I’d be hugely grateful! 😊 Best, Susie Robinson, Ph.D. Interim Director-General EMPHASIS Coordination Office European Infrastructure for Plant Phenotyping VIB Agro-Incubator Kerrebroek 66b, 9850 Nevele, Belgium https://emphasis.plant-phenotyping.eu/ [cid72450*image001.png(a)01DC814C.9DE39E70]

Dear Ines-Marie I have in my calendar that there will be an ENVRI ONE and Board meeting in Brussels on 31 March / 1April but I do not seem to have any further details. Did I overlook this information somewhere? In addition, both myself and Alessandro Turco will participate in both meetings on behalf of EPOS.

Michel and I, as well as Emmanuel I hope, will participate in the meeting, but the invitation is extended to other ENVRIs that are relevant for the discussions.

The webinar series is organised in the context of the EU Standardisation Strategy<https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_22_661> complemented by the Code of Practice on Standardisation in the European Research Area<https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32023H0498&qid=…>. In particular, it is one of the training pilots organized with the Horizon Europe performed Coordination and Support Action (CSA) EDU4Standards.eu<https://edu4standards.eu/>. It aims to strengthen the understanding and engagement of the research community-especially those working in Research and Technology Organisations (RTOs) organized under the roof of the European Association of Research and Technology Organisations (EARTO)<https://www.earto.eu/>-in standardisation activities. Each session will provide a focused introduction to the topic, highlight practical examples, and offer space for discussion on how researchers can contribute to and benefit from standardisation considering European values and interests.

by Schmitt, Ines-Marie 02 Feb '26

02 Feb '26

Dear all, For the further proposal preparation for INFRA-DEV-01-02 (ENVRI-ONE) the next online meeting will be on Friday, 27th February, 14-16 CET. Ill send the Zoom details and calendar invitation later today. As a reminder, the working document for comments and suggestions regarding the WPs and overall structure can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fGUdIkRRSwyT1X0K5McMgHlBwZrWZ7Nnm4jbvEPx zEw/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.o7on60528wk6 For the in-person writing meeting on Tuesday, 31st March I booked a room at the Helmholtz Offices: Kooperationsstelle EU der Wissenschaftsorganisationen (KoWi), Rue du Trône 98, 1050 Bruxelles, Belgium (for those also joining the ENVRI Board meeting on 1st April, its the same room). As the room only fits 25 people and we need to pre-order lunch, I kindly ask you to register here for the in-person participation: https://forms.gle/9th36QVf9PNhp2uW9. We will also set up a hybrid option, but preferably each participating RI / project should have at least one spokesperson on-site, if possible. More information regarding agenda and time schedule will follow. For your travelling plans you might consider a whole day of working meeting, similar to the times we had in Rome. Feel free to contact me for further questions.
