Intensified role of the European Union? : European Research Infrastructure Consortium as a legal framework for contemporary multinational research collaboration

This chapter gives an introduction to the European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) – a European Union (EU) policy tool introduced in 2009 with the purpose to set up and operate collaborative Research Infrastructures by granting them a legal personality and qualities of an international organization. The shared responsibility between the member states and the EU in the research and innovation policy area explains the marginal involvement of the EU in ERICs. Nonetheless, since the enactment of the ERIC regulation, 21 Research Infrastructures have been established with its help, and the ERIC appears to have gained a momentum as an all-encompassing and flexible form is able to accommodate a wide range of Research Infrastructures. The ERIC organizational form is likely here to stay, although the form and the exact capabilities of ERICs might change with the changed priorities of the EU, and the degree of its willingness to further shape its own creation.
