Presenting on the methodology for 2018 Roadmap, David Bohmert -member of ESFRI Excecutive Board- underlined that new projects should demonstrate maturity, provide proof of political support and financial commitment and have completed a business plan and feasibility study. In her talk, Gabriela Pastori, the Chair of the Health and Food Strategy Working Group focused on the process of updating the landscape analysis and on the parameters that need to be considered when designing a methodology for measuring socio-economic impact of RIs in a landscape that keeps evolving.
