Activities
Main EU Legislative Proposals: IFIN-HH is following the EU policy-making process, legislative initiatives and funding programmes related to knowledge, research & innovation, development of research infrastructures and technology transfer.
Implementing the ELI-NP project, IFIN-HH is particularly interested in the European legal frameworks such as ERIC (the European Research Infrastructure Consortium) and in the European funding programme Horizon Europe –and is closely following on the ESFRI’s activity (European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures).
Communication Activities: ELI-NP is one of the three pillars of the European Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) that is supported by European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI).
The collaboration agreement aims to support the implementation of ELI-NP, with the expertise available at the JRC (JRC-Geel). The agreement is promoting and strengthens transnational access to both organizations and is pursued with well defined joint research actions.

Complementary Information: We stress again that IFIN-HH/ELI-NP does not have an office in the EU - it uses the facilities and benefits in its actions from the know-how and expertise offered by the team of the Romanian Office of Science and Technology at EU. Representation activities were drastically reduced during the pandemic years 2020-2021.
One should note that the financing via the Competitveness Operational Programme has ended in December 2023.
