The first FNH-RI Consortium meeting of 2026 (Food, Nutrition and Health Research Infrastructure) is behind us!

The FNH-RI Consortium, led by Prof. Ing. Adriana Kolesárová, PhD., Director of the AgroBioTech Research Centre, opens space for coordinated cooperation in the fields of food, nutrition, and health, and for connecting Slovakia to the European community of research infrastructures.

🌍 The consortium brings together partners from many European countries – the Netherlands, Italy, Ireland, Spain, France, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Portugal, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Greece, Serbia, Montenegro, and North Macedonia. It is an international consortium with great potential, offering numerous opportunities for collaboration, exchange of expertise, and joint project submissions (especially within Horizon Europe and other European initiatives).

During the meeting, we focused on:
✅ updates on consortium countries and partners
✅ the ESFRI Roadmap 2026 and next steps at the European level
✅ new Horizon Europe calls and opportunities for joint projects
✅ support for building a national ESFRI-type platform in Slovakia (VIESF) and the development of the national FNH-RI node (DATA–FACT–TED)
