Meeting with the new EC liaison officer (18 March 2014): • Prolongation of ENSAR project: 4 months; not to go beyond 2014. • The Swiss institutes cannot be beneficiaries. The situation may change by June 2014. • International partners: easier TNA rules; careful not to give money to rich countries (USA, Japan,…). • Budget: 10 M€ of total budget is strongly recommended. • Number of beneficiaries: 20 is an optimum but 30 seems to be still acceptable. • Impact studies: socioeconomic impacts to be done internally. • Templates published on April 15th (finally < 100 pages). • No negotiation phase: the budget will not be cut if the project is selected.
SSC meeting 10-11 April 2014 at GSI • Innovation in ENSAR2. • Links with industry already present in some networks. • Industrial companies can be associated partners: they are identified in the proposal without being beneficiaries. • NEW - Management of data: define standards and procedures to provide raw data (strong links with all TNAs). • Reduce number of NAs

EC Consultation In July 2012, the EC started a consultation process in the framework of Horizon 2020: “This consultation is organised in order to prepare future EU activities supporting the integration of and access to existing national research infrastructures.” “The aim of these activities is to provide a wider and more efficient access to, and use of, the research infrastructures existing in EU Member States, Associated Countries and at international level when appropriate.” “Provide the users of research infrastructures with a harmonised, improved and optimised access to the best research infrastructures in a given field.” “Increase the potential for innovation and technology transfer of the related research infrastructures, in particular by reinforcing the partnership with industry…” 31
Response • ENSAR responded in October 2012. The ENSAR2 proposal aims at: • Supporting the access costs to the research infrastructures at the highest possible level and >> than the few % of real operational costs today • Supporting the scientists, especially the young researchers, participating in experiments at these infrastructures • Supporting the novel instrumentation and theory developments leading to strong improvements of the research infrastructures through Joint Research Activities • Supporting the synergy of the community and promoting and facilitating the use of the research infrastructures through Networking Activities
