European Research Infrastructure Consortium

A European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) is a full juridical person and a corporation under European Union law. With a membership of at least one EU member state and two EU member or associated states, it has legal personality and full legal capacity recognized in all member states. There are 31 ERICs.

The primary objective of an ERIC is to establish and operate, through its members, a research infrastructure of European importance on a non-economic basis. In order to promote innovation and knowledge and technology transfer, an ERIC should be allowed to carry out limited economic activities if they are closely related to its principal task and do not jeopardize its achievement.
