Slovakia approves Roadmap for Research Infrastructures

The adoption of the document at the government level gives a completely new perspective to future development of RIs in Slovakia, including LTER Slovakia. The government instructed the Minister of Education, in cooperation with other ministers, to prepare the first action plan for 2021-2025 and to submit it for approval in October 2021.
LTER Slovakia will actively participate in the preparation of this action plan. Two facts are important for the future of the LTER in Slovakia. The first is that the government resolution explicitly states that the Action Plan should include financial support for the development of RIs, which gives hope for the improvement of technical and personnel equipment of LTER Slovakia. The second is to impose an obligation to prepare an action plan for the years 2026-2030 as well, which gives these plans a longer-term perspective.
