Task force on research infrastructure initiated and Enviplus 3rd open community meeting, Riga, Latvia
The Water JPI has established a Task Force on Research Infrastructures (RIs) at the Governing Board in May 2018. A ‘definition document’ has been developed to strengthen the establishment and need of such a Task Force with its first web conference being held on 29th of November 2018. Under the frame of the Task Force, the Task Force Lead Germany visited the 3rd Open ENVRI Community Meeting, which was organized by the ENVRIPLUS H2020-project. The project brings 26 RIs from four environmental domains together. The project holds biannually a ‘ENVRI week’ to increase integration and cooperation, targeting different groups of stakeholders. The Task Force lead used this meeting to gain an insight to the ‘State of The Art’ gaining knowledge and experiences of the project; presented on the need for water-related Research Infrastructures and established linkages with potential relevant Research Infrastructures and the ENVRIplus-project.
