Consultation participation and their own register declarations, side by side. Counts, not judgments — participation is not influence.
Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 583 consultation files tracked so far (42,224 submissions, mostly 2025–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.
Register facts self-declared (snapshot 2 Sept 2026); cost bands are floors. Shared files are shared attention, not evidence of coordination.
What each said, in their own words
Their opening passages on the files they share, verbatim and in filing order. We do not summarize, compare, or characterize positions — read them at source.
We agree with the identified problems and needs. However, the approach of tackling issues specific to research infrastructures (RIs) and technology infrastructures (TIs) respectively might not be the most suitable. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to RIs and TIs, as each one of them is built in a different manner, addressing the specific needs of the communities they serve.
ELIXIR Europe welcomes the European Commissions initiative to develop a comprehensive Strategy for Research and Technology Infrastructures (RTIs). Research infrastructures are essential to Europes scientific excellence, technological innovation, and global competitiveness.
The European Marine Biological Resource Centre (EMBRC-ERIC) welcomes the European Commissions initiative to organise and coordinate marine observation efforts in Europe. The landscape is currently complex and many observation efforts are under-funded and unsustainable. The lack of cross-border collaboration makes data sharing and sampling approaches difficult and inefficient.
Molecular approaches such as metagenomics, metabarcoding and eDNA (environmental DNA) are increasingly being used for biodiversity monitoring due to efficiencies in sample collection, processing and the capability to identify and monitor taxa or functional biological markers that are otherwise very difficult to assess.
