Research Infrastructures (RIs) and Technology Infrastructures (TIs) are a core asset for European research, strategic autonomy and competitiveness. A dedicated supporting strategy for Tis is still is at the beginning, whilst the EC has widely supported RIs. We suggest keeping a separation of these RI and TI strategies, because of their different maturity levels.
