Chemistry Roadmaps
The SCNAT developed roadmaps for large research infrastructures in which the needs of the different scientific communities are collated. These community roadmaps are aimed at feeding into the Swiss Roadmap for Research Infrastructures, elaborated by SERI.
In 2021, the SCNAT published a first series of community roadmaps, including the Chemistry Roadmap. On the basis of the community roadmaps 2021, SERI has released the 2023 Swiss Roadmap for Research Infrastructures on June 2nd, 2023 (link).
Current status of the Roadmap process in general (March 2024)
Based on the feedback they have received on the previous roadmap procedure, SERI has decided to redefine the whole process for both the Swiss and the community roadmaps of the future (link).
Chemistry Roadmap 2027
For the Roadmap 2027, SCNAT has received the mandate from SERI to update the Roadmaps for Large Research Infrastructures (LRI) for the years 2029-2032 by the end of 2024, in each of the different domains of natural sciences (chemistry, biology, astronomy, geosciences, …). The aim of the updated roadmaps is to collect, in a bottom-up process within the Swiss scientific communities, the ideas and visions about which LRI are needed at national and international level to stay at the forefront of international scientific research.
In chemistry, we held an online Kickoff Meeting to Update the Chemistry Roadmap for LRI on Thursday, 21.03.2024 and started with the elaboration of the Update of the Chemistry Roadmap.
