Co-organizers of the symposium: Christos Arvanitidis, LifeWatch ERIC, ceo@lifewatch.eu; Juan Miguel González-Aranda, LifeWatch ERIC, cto@lifewatch.eu; Peter van Tienderen, University of Amsterdam & LifeWatch ERIC, P.H.vanTienderen@uva.nl and Dario Papale, University of Tuscia & ICOS ETC, darpap@unitus.it

Session description: The European Commission is strongly promoting the establishment and operation of European Research Infrastructures (ERIs), funded by the Member States, as key components of the scientific research landscape supporting the global competitiveness of European research communities. ERIs are aimed at offering high quality data and advanced facilities to European scientists, with particular attention towards early career researchers, promoting innovation, technology transfer to industries, and citizen engagement in science.

In the area of Ecology, some ERIs have been already established as European Research Infrastructure Consortia (ERIC), and are currently operational, whilst others are in the process of becoming so. Globally, the landscape of European Research Infrastructures offers monitoring sites and facilities covering all types of environmental domains, i.e., terrestrial, freshwater, transitional and marine waters and key research areas, such as those dealing with biodiversity organization, conservation and recovery, with ecosystem processes and carbon, water and energy fluxes or with agroecosystems.

Here, we propose an expert panel discussion, with leading scientists from LifeWatch ERIC, the European e-Science Infrastructure for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research, the ecosystem component of ICOS ERIC, the Integrated Carbon Observation System, eLTER RI, the Long Term Ecological Research site network, DiSSCo, the Distributed System of Scientific Collections, Danubius-RI, the International Centre on Advanced Studies on River-Sea Systems, and from the marine Research Infrastructures EMBRC ERIC, EMSO ERIC and Jerico-RI, presenting the key integrated research facilities these infrastructures offer to the EEF ecological research community of practice, running developments, opportunities for engagement and the possibilities to propose new measurements and services to be implemented in the ERIs.
