Descrizione e Attività
Descrizione Generale
METROFOOD-RI – Infrastructure for Promoting Metrology in Food and Nutrition - is a pan-European Research Infrastructure (RI) aimed to promote scientific excellence in the field of food quality and safety. It provides high-quality metrology services in food and nutrition, comprising an important cross-section of highly interdisciplinary and interconnected fields throughout the food value chain, including agrifood, sustainable development, food safety, quality, traceability and authenticity, environmental safety, and human health. METROFOOD-RI has been selected to the ESFRI Roadmap2018 as mature enough to be implemented within the next ten years. The Action is aimed to support METROFOOD-RI to grow from its current status (research-based network of facilities and skills) to a mature, centrally-coordinated, integrated RI, with the legal, financial and technical maturity required for implementing it. The main objective is to develop the organizational, operational and strategic framework of METROFOOD-RI. Activities include legal, governance, financial, technical, strategic and administrative aspects carried out in 15 work packages, organised in 3 blocks dedicated respectively to: the organisation of the legal entity that will manage the future RI, i.e. ERIC; define the operation and the operational standards at the level of the whole RI and for the National Nodes, as well as the role of the RI as service-oriented organisation; define the long term activities for the future RI and update the Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda, in response to the actual and future challenges in the agrifood sector and for the Society. The main outcome will be the establishment of legal and financial commitment for the future ERIC, ensuring long-term common commitment, decision-making and funding engagement. Continuous relations with stakeholders and the user community will be kept in order to ensure the addressing of their needs at the best, and to focus strategies and planned services.
Attività svolta da ENEA
L'ENEA coordina il progetto e partecipa alle attività di tutti i work package.
Per quanto riguarda le specifiche attività, coordina le attività di predisposizione dello statuto per l’ERIC con le rispettive policy - in previsione dell’assunzione di una propria figura legale da parte di METROFOOD-RI - e di organizzazione dell’infrastruttura con la sua struttura Hub&Nodes. E’ inoltre coinvolta in tutte le attività finalizzate alla definizione del piano finanziario e del piano di implementazione, della carta dei servizi, dell’agenda strategia, del posizionamento nel landscape delle infrastrutture i networks impegnati nel settore “Health and Food”, delle relazioni con le industrie e delle collaborazioni a livello globale, dell’analisi di impatto e del piano di comunicazione e disseminazione
