The 6th meeting of the FNH-RI Consortium took place online on 10 November 2026, led by prof. Ing. Adriana Kolesárová, PhD., Vice-Rector for Science and Research of the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra. 28 consortium members from 14 countries took part. Members contributed through the discussion, live polls and the chat.
The consortium discussed:
- The first results of the mapping of national platforms, with 36 platforms listed so far
- The services the institutions can offer in the DATA, FACT and TED groups
- What turns a platform into an FNH-RI service: a defined access procedure, clear target users, conditions and costs of access, and a contact point
- The coordination of the DATA, FACT and TED groups, starting with small working groups
- Governance, a central hub for users and an economic model, based on existing ESFRI research infrastructures
- Alignment with the FutureFoodS Work Package 5 mapping of research infrastructures
- Horizon Europe 2027 calls of interest to the consortium
The next meeting will focus on the proposal for governance and the service template, the working groups and possible joint Horizon Europe proposals.
We thank all consortium members for their active participation and valuable contributions.
