RI Logistica Programme Committee established

Jan 12, 2021
The kick-off meeting of the RI Logistica Programme Committee took place on 14 December 2020.

The Committee brings together representatives of large-scale research infrastructures and users with the aim to identify common challenges of supply- and user-related logistics at research infrastructures and facilitate mutual learning. The Committee also explores the opportunity of establishing a permanent RI Logistica Forum for the development of standards and exchange of best practices. The expected benefits of such forum include safe and timely handling of equipment and samples, mitigation of transportation risks, and harmonising customs handling.

RI Logistica Programme Committee members:

European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS)
European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL)
European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN)
European Southern Observatory (ESO)
European XFEL
Fédération Française de Diffusion Neutronique (2FDN)
Fusion for Energy (F4E, ITER)
Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System (SIOS)

The Programme Committee held a meeting focused on user logistics on 11 January 2021 and will have another one focusing on suppliers on 19 January 2021. The members are planning to organise an online event in Spring 2021.
