ERIC guidelines updated

11/04/2025

The Commission has published the updated Practical Guidelines in support of European Research Infrastructure Consortia (ERIC).  The guidelines are designed to support applicants in submitting their applications to become ERICs. They will also provide existing ERICs with useful clarifications on the applicable legal framework.

The guidelines feature several improvements:

  • a revised structure, better aligned with the ERIC Regulation
  • adaptations to reflect technological and legal developments over the past decade
  • additional guidance on issues going beyond the scope of the ERIC Regulation
  • updated annexes, including best practices for reporting.

An ERIC is a legal entity under EU aw that facilitates the establishment and operation of research infrastructures with European interest. Since it was launched in 2009, 31 ERICs have been established and others are currently in the pipeline.

The guidelines can be found here: ERIC Guidelines
