From FP6 to FP7:European Strategy Forum on RI • Objectives • Support a coherent and strategy-led approach to policy making on RI in Europe • Facilitate multilateral initiatives for the development of RI: best use of existing infrastructures and creation of new ones • Achievements • Strategy roadmaps and coordination: neutron sources, free electron lasers, marine science, social sciences infrastructures • Future: reinforcement and consolidation of ESFRI role • Coherent strategic agenda, improved working methods, common approaches, multilateral initiatives • Contacts with EIRO forum and other stakeholders
First thoughts • Continuation of the FP6 actions on RI • Discussion on the actions related to the construction and functioning of new infrastructures of EU interest • through a ‘TEN’ – like mechanism ? • taking into account strategic criteria on: • a priority list • the location of new RI • Perspectives of collaboration with the EU Structural funds and the EIB
A “top-down” approach • Support for the development of future RI of EU interest based on: • a strategic, long term vision and identification of priority needs for large, new or upgraded RI in the next 15-20 years: roadmap(s) • more targeted support for specific RI projects • increased use of financial engineering to support new RI • In consultation with ESFRI • In close cooperation with EIRO forum, ESF,and other potential stakeholders
Strategic Roadmap(s) • Guiding Principles: • Clear methodology for elaborating the roadmap(s) • Transparency and impartiality • Support by all stakeholders • Endorsement by the Council of Ministers • Periodic revision(s) • Criteria for inclusion: • New infrastructures (or major upgrades) • Scientific importance and excellence • Endorsement by the EU scientific community • Technology feasibility study exists • Justification for EC intervention • Criteria for prioritisation: • Timeliness and readiness for construction • Management and long-term budget estimates • Potential impacts and long term user needs • International added value
