We are excited to announce that Finland successfully submitted the formal request of setting up ACTRIS ERIC* on 30th September 2021, and the European Commission has informed us that the application was well-received.
Finland has now received a formal commitment from 12 countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Romania, Switzerland.
We look forward to more countries joining ACTRIS during the process as the countries can join in ACTRIS ERIC as founding members until the European Commission has made its decision, foreseen during the first half of 2022.
The ACTRIS Head Office thanks those involved in the process for their hard work and contributions to achieve such important milestone so quickly.
* ERIC - European Research Infrastructure consortium is a specific legal form that facilitates the establishment and operation of European Research Infrastructures. Read more here.
