SERI and swissuniversities have launched the process for the Swiss Roadmap for Research Infrastructures 2027. The Swiss Roadmap for Research Infrastructures is a report on the status and development of national and international research infrastructures. The roadmap process is highly relevant for all national projects seeking long-term institutionalization.

SSHOC-CH organizes an event with participation from SERI and swissuniversities to inform the SSH community about the roadmap process and to answer questions.

Time: Wednesday 11 December 2024
(13:00-14:00)

Location: Zoom

Please register to the event: https://forms.gle/36yhEBqQzV6WMA2X6

During the event, we would also like to include a slot on informing about potential submissions from the SSH domain. If you wish to share this information with others, please submit information on potential project proposals (Titel/topic as well as institutions and people involved) until 9 December to Georg Lutz. This will allow us to inform participants about the ongoing efforts.

Summary of the process outline (as explained on the swissuniversities webpage)

• End of 2024 - Start of the process: swissuniversities contact HEI's research vice-rectors and institutional contacts about the 2027 Roadmap process, who are responsible of informing their institutions about the details of the process
• March 2025 - Phase A Coordination: research vice-presidents use opportunities of coordination; early establishment of consortium structures.
• May-August 2025 - Phase B Prioritisation: research vice-presidents prioritise two-page proposals and make recommendations to the responsible bodies of swissuniversities; if necessary, the prioritisation leads to sensible merging of projects at the earliest possible stage.
• Second half of 2025 - Phase C Pre Selection : research vice-presidents pre-select projects and give a recommendation to the responsible bodies of swissuniversities on which projects should be submitted for the Roadmap.
