Swiss National Science Foundation SNSF’s Post

📌Annual ERIC CH Symposium 2025📌   Last week, SERI hosted the third Annual ERIC CH Symposium. This year's theme was Research Infrastructures as Enablers of Open Science. The event was a resounding success, thanks to the insightful contributions from various stakeholders, and especially to all our national nodes from the various ERICs for their always crisp 90-second ⏰ pitches Swiss Biobanking Platform (BBMRI), CLARIN-CH, DARIAH-CH, FORS - Swiss Centre of Expertise in the Social Sciences (SHARE, ESS, CESSDA, GGP), ACTRIS-CH, Swiss Clinical Trial Organisation (ECRIN), ICOS - Integrated Carbon Observation System, eLTER, EMPHASIS on Plant Phenomics, SLICES_CH.   Our keynote speaker, Ivana Ilijasic Versic, ELIXIR Head of Operations, delivered a compelling talk on the significance, challenges, and opportunities of Open Science for research infrastructures.   We also enjoyed a lively panel discussion with the ERI partners from the ETH Domain, Schweizerischer Nationalfonds SNF, Akademien der Wissenschaften Schweiz and swissuniversities.   Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to the success of this event. Planning for the next Symposium in 2026 has already begun – we’ll keep you posted.  #EuropeanResearchInfrastructuresConsortium #OpenScience #ResearchInfrastructures #ERICs #Collaboration
