Scientific collections are essential components of research infrastructures. They are critical to many areas of science, and allow scientists to address global interdisciplinary issues such as climate change. This report presents the findings and recommendations from two workshops, held in the Netherlands and the United States in 2007 and 2008, regarding the maintenance, utilisation and international coordination of scientific research collections. A follow up activity is now underway under the aegis of the GSF to develop a sustainable plan for a future international coordinating mechanism.

Increasingly, the scientific and policymaking communities are collaborating in the preparation of roadmaps of large research infrastructures: strategic planning documents that identify, analyse and prioritise options for new projects. The OECD report is based on an examination of some twenty recent roadmaps. It focuses on the process through which they were prepared, and identifies key considerations and good practices that deserve the attention of anyone who is contemplating the undertaking of a new roadmapping exercise.
