Establishment of a strategic roadmap for focused european research activities on life in extreme environments?
Links
Perspective
The CAREX Strategic Roadmap workshop will aim to develop a synthesis of the outcomes from three previous workshops (Identification of model ecosystems, of the necessary technology platforms and infrastructures and of model organisms in extreme environments) and produce a strategic report addressing both future European research priorities in extreme environments and the technological developments needed to facilitate the research. It will also identify current shortcomings in European capability, particularly in respect to technology and specialised infrastructure.
The outcomes from this meeting will be published and distributed to national and European level funding bodies including the European Research Council. This will be an important document in advancing the development of a coordinated European capability in extreme environment research.
