  1. An highlight on ExistingResearch Infrastructures

  2. FP7 2007 - 2013 Budget (M€) - Source: Council decision in December 2006 “Capacities”

  3. Definition of Research Infrastructures • Facilities, resources, and related services usedby the scientific community for • Conducting leading-edge research • Knowledge transmission, knowledge exchangesand knowledge preservation • Includes • Major scientific equipment • Scientific collections, archives and structured information • ICT-based infrastructures • Entities of a unique nature, used for research Knowledge « industry »

  4. European Survey of Research Infrastructures Aim: analysis + respective trends & developments March-April 06:Initial submission phase led by EC May-December 06:Validation process by ESF • Validation of the entries received by EC • Nomination of missing major RIs December 06- up to now:Finalization by EC • Getting responses from RIs nominated by ESF • Breaking down all RIs by categories • Extracting the first results from the database

  5. This analysis looks at the598 replies received from Research Infrastructures related organisations and validated by ESF and EC They do NOT represent an assessment or analysis of the overall situation of RI in Europe! However it shows the current trends within Europe and lessons can be drawn. This database of RIs will need to be continuously updated in the future. Selected slides… more information available in the draft report to be approved end of the month

  6. Breakdown of All RIs by Scientific Domains (598 RIs) 160 144 140 120 100 86 85 78 80 Number of RIs 64 60 47 34 30 30 40 20 0 Humanities Social Environmental, Energy Biomedical Nuclear and Materials Engineering Computer and Sciences Marine, Earth and Life Particle Sciences data treatment Sciences Sciences Physics, Astonomy, Astrophysics 9 major domains related with the 598 identified facilities More than 25 500 permanent scientists are working in such facilities …
