Prospect
Preparing the PROSPECT FNH-RI application for the ESFRI Roadmap.
About PROSPECT FNH-RI
The European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) was set to publish an updated ESFRI Roadmap in 2021. The PROSPECT FNH-RI proposal was prepared for upload to ESFRI on 9 September 2020 to apply for ESFRI project status on this roadmap.
The Netherlands, and more specifically Wageningen University & Research, coordinates and submits the PROSPECT FNH-RI application on behalf of 19 National Nodes in and outside the European Union.
- Coordinated by Wageningen University & Research
- Prepared on behalf of 19 National Nodes
- Aimed at ESFRI project status
A Proposal Backed by a Growing European Network
Preparing the Ground for FNH-RI
The submission of PROSPECT FNH-RI underpins the preparation of FNH-RI in terms of science case, pan-European relevance, socio-economic impact, stakeholder and user community, e-needs and accessibility, governance and business model, HRM, risk assessment, planning and preliminary activities to move to a preparatory phase.
These elements support the wider FNH-RI mission and vision and set the foundation for the next stage of development.
Linked organisational themes
- ICT infrastructure based on e-needs
- Open and FAIR data access
- Stakeholder commitment
- Users and access model
- Preparatory work and planning
- Governance and management
Why FNH-RI Stands Out
Uniting Fragmented Domains
Uniting fragmented domains across the biological and social sciences to facilitate breakthrough research on healthy and sustainable diets for 21st century citizens.
Open Access to Data and Methodologies
Open access to data and cutting-edge methodologies to pursue advanced research questions and shape the direction of healthy and sustainable food innovation.
Advanced Facilities
Sharing advanced facilities to measure nutrient intake, food reformulation and the behaviour of consumers in their food environments.
Guidance for Policy and Practice
Guidance of public and private sector to innovate policies and practices on healthy and sustainable food.
Annual Costs and Distribution
The total costs of FNH-RI are estimated at €26 million per year. Of this, €22.5 million would strengthen the National Nodes in their activities, including exploiting, developing, aligning and sharing their expertise and services, improving efficiency of research through standardized access to pan-European data, facilities and training.
The investment for the FNH-RI Hub is estimated at €3.5 million per year.
