Cross-institutional project to develop a new generation sensor/monitoring networks for tracking the habitability of ecological systems in the context of climate change.
The project appears relatively new and in trial phases with a couple of facilities, so there is little in the way of research outputs or affiliation usage. That said, it has the backing of multiple CNRS institutions (e.g. https://www.insu.cnrs.fr/fr/cnrsinfo/terra-forma-un-nouveau-paradigme-pour-lobservation-des-territoires ; ), so I don't think there are any concerns about its viability. More about whether to create a ROR now or await the research outputs, funding acknowledgements, etc.
Does the website work at all for you? I just get a blank page at terra-forma.cnrs.fr ??? Anyway, the various other pages that describe this routinely use the word "project", and our guidelines suggest ROR's should not be created for a "term-limited project". Also it's not clear to me that anybody would actually use this as an affiliation. And their suggested hierarchy would be disruptive I think - we don't want every widely supported project to appear in the hierarchy tree of organizations, this is not really a parent of the listed entities.
I recommend waiting at least 6 months to see actual research outputs and see if any researchers are actually stating TERRA FORMA as their affiliation, rather than the underlying organizations (also to see if the website is actually a stable reliable source of information). If this really is a term-limited project, perhaps we should direct them to request a RAiD identifier rather than ROR - https://www.raid.org.au
@arthurpsmith It worked for me at time of review, but it looks as like it might have gone down. I agree with your overall sentiment, however, so we can move this to hold for later.
