Ensuring continued operation of INSPIRE as a cornerstone of the HEP information infrastructure

Not scheduled
1m

Description

The INSPIRE platform — the most widely-used discovery service specifically tailored to
the needs of researchers in High Energy Physics (HEP) — has become a central component
of the information infrastructure for the discipline. Despite this, INSPIRE’s continued
sustainability is frequently endangered by resource constraints, recently made more acute
by the loss of support from historical funders changing their research priorities. If the
European particle physics community wishes to ensure INSPIRE’s long-term sustainability,
the community should secure international support and ensure appropriate funding.
