As the number of RIs grows, the landscape is becoming increasingly fragmented. To address this, new communities have been invited to merge into already established ERICs. This opens up new possibilities, but also new challenges. This April we held a meeting dedicated to this topic 👉 bit.ly/42WHL4q

Ornela De Giacomo (CERIC-ERIC), Luc Van Duc (Euro-Argo ERIC), and Vanja Komljenovic (CESSDA ERIC) discuss how the conversation unfolded at the meeting on integrating new communities into existing ERICs
