  1. Summary of the 1st Workshop

  2. Three Partners • Three organisations within research infrastructure in Europe had individually planned an energy workshop. • Varying agendas • Marketing solutions • Finding collaborations • Understanding challenges

  3. Three Main Challenges • Sustainability - Affects funding, acceptance • Power quality - Affects operations • Price volatility - Affects costs

  4. The Sustainability Challenge: Cost/Benefit Balance of Science Value of Science • Knowledge • Applications • Externalities, e.g. tech clusters Cost of Science • Investment • Operations • Externalities, e.g. environmental impact

  5. Beatrix Vierkorn-Rudolph, Federal MinistryofEducation and Research, Germany: “Increasing energy efficiency is a major goal” Energy for Sustainable Science Workshops Catherine Césarsky, Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies Commission: “The Research Infrastructures are very appropriate tools for addressing scientific issues to confront global Climate and Energy challenges

  6. Opportunities • RIs are at the centre of science‐driven innovation. RIs exist to enable research and innovation. • Open exchange of best practices, more cooperation in joint projects and training offer mutual benefit, and benefit for society in general. • RIs offer an opportunity for government, especially the EU, to develop energy management. • RIs can train researchers, operators and managers to face the upcoming energy challenges. • Several RIs are already well underway and can serve as examples. Testbed Hotbed Incubator

  7. Conclusions • Challenges are real, vital, not specific to RI • Research output is our most important contribution • Because of out dedication to research, innovation and openness, RIs have a unique position to contribute solutions.

  8. A Suggested Agenda • Foster open exchange of best practices in our community. • Encourage more cooperation in joint projects and training offer mutual benefit. • Spread our science and science‐driven innovation that addresses energy challenges. • Together, offer an opportunity for government, especially the EU, to develop energy management. • Jointly develop programs to train researchers, operators and managers to face the upcoming energy challenges.
