Conceptual background
MIRRI was accepted on the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) roadmap in 2010 and as such has been given priority for preparatory funding from European Commission.
This is the first of three steps in the establishment of an Research Infrastructure:
1. the Preparatory Phase (11/2012-04/2016): development of
- operational and legal structures
- secured financial commitment
- strategies regarding implementation of data management,
communication, training and education
funded by European Commission
2. the Construction Phase: establishment of
- legal structure (ERIC)
- funding mechanisms
funded by the future MIRRI-ERIC consortium
3. the Operational Phase: full operability of the research
infrastructure
funded by the future MIRRI-ERIC consortium
