  1. The role of the European Strategic Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) Prof. Caterina Petrillo Italian Delegate to FP7 Capacities - Infrastructures Directorof the PhysicsDepartment - Universityof Perugia • Mission of ESFRI • The Roadmap mandate • 2020 Vision Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia

  2. WhyResearchInfrastructures? • ResearchInfrastructures in the ERA • catalyze the knowledgecreationprocess • facilitate the networkingofresearchers • stimulateknowledgeflows • enhance the prospectsfor downstream impacts • haveimportantacceleratoreffects on • localeconomies Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia

  3. Characteristics of a PanEU Research Infrastructure • Offers cutting-edge, essential service to research, on a non-economic basis, within an ERA outlook • Awards free open access through international peer-review competition at world level • Results published/shared in the public domain • Proprietary and/or training access is marginal • Clear pan-European added value: e.g. at least 30% of selected users coming from non-host countries Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia

  4. ResearchInfrastructuresToday • Today the economic contingency and the globalization of the challenges may jeopardize the efforts for a new European renaissance. • A concentrated effort on common, internationally shared research infrastructures that will keep producing new knowledge, could be a cheaper solution than the fully distributed effort. • We should therefore elaborate the concept that investing in large RI is the best strategy in time of crisis. Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia

  5. ResearchInfrastructures Tomorrow EUROPE 2020 Vision InnovationUnioncommitments 5.By 2015, Member States together with the Commission should have completed or launched the construction of 60% of the priority European research infrastructures currently identified by the European Strategy Forum for Research Infrastructures (ESFRI). The potential for innovation of these (and ICT and other) infrastructures should be increased. The Member States are invited to review their Operational Programmesto facilitate the use of cohesion policy money for this purpose. Research Infrastructures contribute to implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy and “Innovation Union” Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia

  6. Whatis ESFRI? • ESFRI is a strategic instrument created in 2002 by the Member States and the European Commission to develop the scientific integration of Europe and to strengthen its international outreach. • ESFRI gives national authorities the opportunity to explore common and integrated activities for the best development and use of Research Infrastructures of pan-European relevance. • In this way, ESFRI contributes to the implementation of a critical, strategic part of the Lisbon agenda by integrating national policies and bringing together national and EU resources to develop the European Research Area. • The ESFRI delegates are nominated by the Research Ministers of the Member States and Associated Countries, and include a representative of the Commission. Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia

  7. Mission of ESFRI • To support a coherent and strategy-led approach to policy-making on new and existing pan-European and global RIs • To facilitate multilateral initiatives leading to the better use and development of Research Infrastructures, at EU and international level

  8. The Roadmap Mandate • The Competitiveness Council of the EU mandated ESFRI on November 2004 to develop a strategic roadmap in the field of RI for Europe • The ESFRI roadmap identifies new pan-European Research Infrastructures (RIs) or major up-grades to existing ones, corresponding to the needs of European research communities in the next 10 to 20 years, regardless of possible location

  9. Roadmap ESFRI 2010 and thematic Reports

  10. ESFRI Success Stories • From more than 260 proposals, 50 projects have been identified through several review stages between 2006 and 2010 • Projects meets the “grand challenges” • Update in 2010 in the areas Energy and Biological and Medical Sciences (3+3 new projects) • The Roadmap 2010 contains 48 projects in total; 2 have been removed • 10 of the projects are in theimplementation phase and further 16 are proceeding towardsthe implementation phase until end of 2012

  11. ESFRI Projects
