  1. PAERIP inventory of European and Pan-African research infrastructures A P Botha, G von Gruenewaldt and T C Botha TechnoScene (Pty) Ltd, South Africa N Houssos and C Paschou National Documentation Centre (ΕΚΤ) / National Hellenic Research Foundation (NHRF), Greece 16 May 2012 Brussels, Belgium

  2. The Task Compiling an inventory of European research infrastructures relevant to the implementation of continental African S&T Plans Compiling an inventory of African research infrastructures of specific interest to European researchers

  3. Promoting African – European Research Infrastructure Partnerships

  4. ESFRI/ Non-ESFRI Projects RIs Potential Existing European Landscape of Synergies or Gaps CPA/ BoL/ Programmes not identified Pan African Priority Areas Projects RIs Structure according to Focus Areas

  5. Priority Areas in Africa Consolidated Plan of Action Book of Lighthouse Projects • Biodiversity, Biotechnology and Indigenous Knowledge • Energy, Water and Desertification • Material Sciences, Manufacturing, Laser and Post-Harvest Technologies • Information and Communication Technologies and Space Science and Technologies • Support S&T capacity in Africa and implement the S&T Consolidated Plan of Action • Enhance cooperation on space applications and technology Other Programmes • Improvement of Health • Astronomy • Social Sciences and Humanities • Physics

  6. Focus Areas •  Biological and Medical Sciences • e-Infrastructures • Energy • Environmental Sciences • Materials and Analytical Facilities • Physical Sciences and Engineering • Social Sciences and Humanities

  7. Projects Identified

  8. European Example

  9. Pan-African Example

  10. Identifying Potential and Existing Collaboration

  11. Database CERIF standard (entities, relationships, structure) as the underlying data model Compatible with the data models used in the MERIL and EuroRIs-Net+ projects Linking projects on Potential Collaboration Indicating Existing Collaboration http://inventory.paerip.org

  12. Recommendations on the Way Forward • PAERIP must create an awareness of partnership possibilities • Synergetic learning must lead to best practices in planning, development and use of RI • RI that could potentially benefit must interact individually • The importance of regional or continental RI roadmaps for Africa • Intercontinental planning and use of RI could eventually be expanded to Global RI, if appropriate

  13. Thank you for your attention Questions/Comments?
