Excellence and Research Infrastructures
Europe has a long-standing tradition of excellence in research and its teams continue to lead progress in many fields• However our centres of excellence often fail to reach critical mass• There is a need to bring resources together
and to build a research and innovation area equivalent to the "common market"

The Roadmap
• Mandate from the Council of Ministers,November 2004
• The Roadmap is the result of two years of intensive work
• About 1000 high-level experts were involved, from every MS and AS, from most fields and user communities, giving the end product credibility and quality.
It is the beginning of an ongoing process

• Addressing seven (7) fields of Research and major challenges
• From about original 200 proposals, thirty five (35) projects have been identified through several review stages
• Community produced ideas that will open up new and unexpected areas of knowledge
Some fields should be stimulated for further integration

More is to come
• Implementation of the Roadmap:
some of the projects will be in place already next year
• Strengthening the European Research Area:
Research Infrastructures as majorcornerstones
• Continuation of the ESFRI work:
ESFRI encourages constructive debate
