In the Smart Specialization Strategy of Hungary (accepted by the Government of Hungary in November 2014) the strategic concepts (directions of development of research infrastructures, foreign infrastructures recommended for participation, principles of evaluating infrastructures) on development of Hungarian research infrastructures are laid down. The updated register and the principles presented in the S3 strategy serve as a solid basis for the ongoing work of Hungarian roadmap of research infrastructures. Uniqueness and openness (access for other researchers and institutions) among other (ESFRI harmonized) criteria will be the key elements of the evaluating process. Regarding the next steps, National Research, Development and Innovation Office is responsible for evaluate the applicants for ESFRI Roadmap 2016 and the elaboration of the Hungarian roadmap until October 2015.
