  1. Research Infrastructures: Towards FP7 ENSCONET, second annual meeting Valencia, June 16, 2006 Jean-Emmanuel Faure, European Commission DG Research

  2. Term refers to “facilities”, “resources” and related “services” that are needed by the research community to conduct research in all scientific and technological fields A definition for Research Infrastructures • Definition covers: major equipments, knowledge based resources (collections, archives,…), enabling ICT-based infrastructures (Géant, Grids,…) and any other entity of a unique nature used for research

  3. Research Infrastructures are at the core of the knowledge Triangle Research Education Research infrastructures Innovation

  4. Optimising the use and development of the best research infrastructures existing in Europe Objectives of the Research Infrastructures actions • Helping to create in all fields of S & T new research infrastructures of pan-European interest needed by the European scientific community For Europe to strengthen its base of knowledge and its technological know how

  5. Support Transnational Access to sponsor new opportunities for research teams to obtain access to individual major Research Infrastructures (RIs) • Support Transnational Access to sponsor new opportunities for research teams to obtain access to individual major Research Infrastructures (RIs) • Support Transnational Access to sponsor new opportunities for research teams to obtain access to individual major Research Infrastructures (RIs) • Support Transnational Access to sponsor new opportunities for research teams to obtain access to individual major Research Infrastructures (RIs) • Support Integrating Activities to promote the coherent use and development of RIs: • Coordination Actions • Integrated Infrastructure Initiatives • Support Integrating Activities to promote the coherent use and development of RIs: • Coordination Actions • Integrated Infrastructure Initiatives • Support Integrating Activities to promote the coherent use and development of RIs: • Coordination Actions • Integrated Infrastructure Initiatives • Support Integrating Activities to promote the coherent use and development of RIs: • Coordination Actions • Integrated Infrastructure Initiatives • Support e-infrastructures to reinforce high-capacity and high-performance communication, grid infrastructures and European computing capabilities • Support e-infrastructures to reinforce high-capacity and high-performance communication, grid infrastructures and European computing capabilities • Support e-infrastructures to reinforce high-capacity and high-performance communication, grid infrastructures and European computing capabilities • Design studies: to support feasibility studies and technical preparatory work for new research infrastructures of clear European dimension • Design studies: to support feasibility studies and technical preparatory work for new research infrastructures of clear European dimension • Construction of New Infrastructures: to provide limited support for the development of new infrastructures FP6 Support to Research Infrastructures • Support Transnational Access to sponsor new opportunities for research teams to obtain access to individual major Research Infrastructures (RIs)

  7. 18 projects 144 partners 62 MEuro Several hundreds of thousands of users http://www.cordis.lu/infrastructures/projects.htm FP6 Projects for life Sciences Research Infrastructures

  8. EC SeventhFramework Programme • Proposed duration: 7 years (2007 to 2013) • Organised in 4 specific programmes: • Cooperation (65%) • People (10%) • Ideas (15%) • Capacities (10%) SMEs Regions of knowledge Research potential Science in society International cooperation Research Infrastructures

  9. FP7+ 60% Continuous increase of Community support to Research Infrastructures all over the FPs and joint efforts between DG RTD and DG INFSO 700 New IST 500 New Infrastructures 400 Integrated Initiatives Networks 300 RTD Projects IST Access 200 100 0 LIP (FP2) HCM (FP3) TMR (FP4) IHP (FP5) FP6

  10. Implementation through: • Bottom-up calls for proposals open to all fields of science • Targeted calls implemented whenever appropriate in cooperation with thematic areas FP7 Support to existing Research Infrastructures • Support Integrating Activities to promote the coherent use and development of research infrastructures in a given field • Support e-infrastructures to reinforce high-capacity and high-performance communication, grid infrastructures and European computing capabilities

  11. FP7 Support to new Research Infrastructures • Design studies: to support feasibility studies and technical preparatory work for new research infrastructures of clear European dimension and interest (through bottom-up calls) • Construction of new infrastructures and major upgrades to existing ones The list of projects to be supported will be based on the work conducted by the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI)

  12. Tool for decision makers preventing over-provision of facilities in particular areas, and for long term budgetary planning by funding actors ESFRI – Toward a European Roadmap • A forum (not a decision making body) that brings together representatives of the 25 EU Member States and 7 Associated States, appointed by Research Ministers, and one representative of the European Commission • To prepare a European Roadmap of the needs for new European research infrastructures or major upgrades to existing ones. The first version is due end of 2006, with regular updates

  13. Genomics, Bioinformatics, et al European Cultural Heritage Clinical and Translational research Soft X-Ray Free-Electron Laser Biodiversity and Environment Structuration of the ESFRI work ESFRI Physical Sciences and Engineering Biological and Medical Sciences Social Sciences and Humanities

  14. Two expert groups under ESFRI have analyzed the needs for biology • Clinical research • Bio-informatics • Bio-banks and genomic resources • Structural biology • Animal model facilities and functional analysis of a whole mammalian genome

  15. A two-stage process: The preparatory phase - restricted calls targeting projects identified on the ESFRI Roadmap  to support the finalisation of the construction plans, of the legal organisation and of the management aspects Construction of new Research Infrastructures • The implementation phase - developed following the satisfactory achievement of the preparatory phase

  16. FP7 Accompanying measures Support measures, through a mixed bottom-up / top down approach, for: • the coordination of research infrastructures in emerging areas • the development of a European policy for RI • the development of international cooperation

  17. Targeted calls Support to the construction or major upgrade of Research Infrastructures: A vision for the next 10-20 years A increased budget over FP7 Conclusions Novelties Looking for catalysing, leveraging, additionality and managerial effects
