The eight intergovernmental organisations involved in EIROforum have extensive expertise in large infrastructures relying on high-technology instrumentation. In the general context of integrated instrumentation systems, the Instrumentation Working Group develops its activity around two main areas:
- Exploring the fields of expertise of the EIROs and identifying areas in which cooperation would bring clear added value.
- Fostering efficient information exchange across their organisations by means of specific and dedicated tools, such as schools, workshops, and databases. While large audience conferences are organised mainly according to disciplines (synchrotron radiation, fusion, astronomy, etc.), these dedicated events are designed to encourage more targeted networking within the EIROs.
