The group of about 30 international experts on research infrastructures (RI) appointed by the research ministries of the G7 meets twice a year. At the inaugural meeting of EMBRC-ERIC, one year ago, Christian Chardonnet, Head of the Department of Large Research Infrastructures at the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, decided that the next meeting would take place in Roscoff and Brest, at the occasion of the hosting of the G7 in France.
The exchanges were introduced on Monday in Roscoff by the allowances of Antoine Petit (CEO of the CNRS), Jean Chambaz (President of Sorbonne University) and Bernard Pouliquen (Vice-President of the Brittany Region) and Tuesday in Brest, by François Houllier (CEO of Ifremer).
The group of experts, including Adam Tyson, who has just taken up his duties as head of the Research Infrastructures Unit at the European Commission (DG XII, Science, Research and Development), benefited from the presentation and the visit of 4 emblematic RIs of science of the sea, with a typology that covers the whole range of possibilities: the French Oceanographic Fleet (FOF), Concordia (France-Italy), EMBRC (Europe), Argo (Global).
The community of the Campus mondial de la mer mobilized itself to bring relevant elements to the discussions, in particular on the functioning and the economic model of its RIs, and gave an iodized touch to this group more generally accustomed to discuss around infrastructures in the physical / nuclear field.
