We are delighted to announce that the European research infrastructure project FOREST has been selected by the ESFRI Forum for inclusion in the ESFRI Roadmap 2026. To date, the project consortium brings together GÉANT and 60 stakeholders from 17 countries. It is supported by 13 ministries representing 10 governments, major European institutions such as EURAMET, JRC, and European Research infrastructures including CERN, ESRF, LOFAR, JIVE, and EPOS. Last but not least, FOREST is strongly supported by more than 20 companies.

We would like to express our warm thanks to all stakeholders and supporters for their decisive contribution, which made this great achievement possible.

Now is the time for action to deliver the services expected by the scientific community and, beyond, by society.
