  1. Support forNew Research Infrastructures in the EU 7th Framework Programme for ResearchElena RighiEuropean CommissionSKADS Workshop, Paris, 4 September 2006

  2. Activities in FP7 for RI For existing research infrastructures Integrating Activities (bottom-up and targeted) e-infrastructures For new research infrastructures Design studies Construction (incl. major upgrades)

  3. New RIs in FP7Strategic approach • To help create new RIs of pan-European interest needed by the European scientific communities • To remain at the forefront of advancement of science • To help industry to strengthen its knowledge base and its technological know-how.

  4. New RIs in FP7 Objective:To help create new research infrastructures of pan-European interest (or major upgrades of existing ones). - Design studies:to supportfeasibility studies for new infrastructures through a “bottom-up approach” of calls for proposals - Construction of new infrastructures (incl. major upgrades):to promote the creation of new infrastructures through a strategic approach based on the work conducted by ESFRIon the development of a European roadmap fro new research infrastructures. NO BOTTOM UP

  5. New RIs in FP7Preparatory Phase Construction via a two-stage process: • Stage 1: The preparatory phase restricted calls targeting priority projects (Roadmap) to support: • Strategic work (e.g. site selection analysis) • Technical work (e.g. detailed engineering design, technology transfer to industry) • Financial work (e.g. financial arrangements, procurement) • Logistic work (e.g. create centres of excellence to operate the RI) • Legal work (e.g. governance, IPR, creation of the legal entity, draft construction MoU “signature-ready”)

  6. New RIs in FP7Preparatory Phase • Participants • The stakeholders needed to make the RI a reality: funding agencies, public authorities, research and development agencies, RI operators, universities, industry (as appropriate on a case by case basis) • Legal minimum: THREE in different Member States or Associated States • Third Countries: fully open, especially for global projects (with EC funding in duly justified cases) • Funding • No cost models • R&D work: up to 75% • Networking, management: up to 100%

  7. New RIs in FP7 • Stage 2: The construction phase • developed following the satisfactory implementation of the preparatory phase • “case by case” approach (e.g. use of Article 171)

  8. European Roadmap for new RIs • Through the work of ESFRI • Identification of new research infrastructures or major upgrades which correspond to the needs of European research communities • Tool for decision makers, preventing over-provision of facilities in particular areas • Providing a focus for long term budgetary planning by funding actors

  9. Final draft ESFRI Roadmap report Early Sept. 2006 Finalisation of all supporting documents September 2006 Agreement of ESFRI (Brussels meeting) 28-29 Sept. 2006 Publication and press conference 19 Oct. 2006 Timetable (ESFRI phase 2)
