The DRIHMS project coordinator is invited to the 6th European Conference on Research Infrastructures (ECRI2010)*, co-organized by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation and the European Commission. The conference will take place in Barcelona, on 23 and 24 March 2010, under the auspices of the Spanish EU Council Presidency.

The objectives of the conference are to promote discussions on the European strategy for research infrastructures (RIs) and on the decision making process to enable the implementation of the ESFRI roadmap. Management and financial issues, as well as the governance structures of these RIs within the ERA, will be addressed. There will also be a specific session devoted to e-infrastructure for science that will deal with key challenges for the future.
