This
third European
Conference on Research Infrastructures, following the first one, held
in Strasbourg in 2000 and the second held in Trieste in 2003, has:

to European research infrastructures, including the challenges posed by
handling, processing, archiving and transmitting increasingly large amounts
of data generated by scientific works;
- Addressed the possible international dimension of the new generation
of research infrastructures, as well as their regional or trans-regional
impact;
- Presented and discussed the work of the European Strategy Forum on Research
Infrastructures (ESFRI) in the development of a coordinated European Roadmap;
- Highlighted the possible role of the Community financial instruments,
and of the Seventh Framework Programme in particular, in relation to research
