FP7 and ILIAS-NEXT: Supporting Research Infrastructures for the European Knowledge Economy and Society

This presentation discusses the aims and implementation of the FP7 and ILIAS-NEXT schemes, which aim to create the European Research Area and support the development of the knowledge economy and society in Europe. It focuses on the support provided to research infrastructures, including transnational access, integrating activities, and research e-infrastructures. The presentation also highlights the support for the construction of new infrastructures and major updates of existing ones, based on the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) roadmap.

Presentation Transcript

  1. FP7 and ILIAS-NEXT Geppo Cagnoli INFN Sez. Firenze University of Glasgow 3rd ILIAS GW Meeting – 26th Oct. 2006, ICL

  2. The FP7 schemes • Res. Infrastructures • Small & Med. Enterpr. • Regional development • New EU countries • Science in Society • International coop. • Aim • creation of the European Research Area, and carry it further towards the development of the knowledge economy and society in Europe • The schemes • Cooperation: industry driven • Capacities: research infrastructures are in this • People: Marie Curie Fellowships • Ideas: single investigator driven • Joint Research Centres 3rd ILIAS GW Meeting - ICL - London

  3. FP7 Budget 3rd ILIAS GW Meeting - ICL - London

  4. Support to Research Infrastructures Existing • Activities (present in FP6 as well): • transnational access • integrating activities • research e-infrastructures • Implementation: • bottom-up calls for proposals open to all fields of science • in close cooperation with the thematic areas STREGA (R&D) GWA (Networking) 3rd ILIAS GW Meeting - ICL - London

  5. Support to Research Infrastructures New • Activities and implementation: • support to construction of new infrastructures and major updates of existing ones • based on the work conducted by the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) on the development of a European roadmap for new research infrastructures • stage 1: Supporting the preparatory phase • stage 2: Supporting the construction phase • design studies • through bottom-up approach (calls for proposals) to promote the creation of new research infrastructures by funding exploratory awards and feasibility studies ESFRI may also recommend Design Studies 3rd ILIAS GW Meeting - ICL - London

  6. The path so far • 6 April 2005 EC FP7 proposal • 21 Sept. 2005 Specific Programme proposal approved • December 2005 Rules of participation approved by EC • June 2006 1st EP reading • 25 Sept. 2006 1st EC reading, amendments sent to EP • 2nd Nov. 2006 2nd EP reading ending • ? 2nd reading by the Council Approved Conciliation Committee 3rd ILIAS GW Meeting - ICL - London

  7. Work Programme under discussion at the EP 3rd ILIAS GW Meeting - ICL - London

  8. Calls timing (TBA) 3rd ILIAS GW Meeting - ICL - London

  9. Support to new Research Infrastructures (TBA) • Design studies • “The aim is to support conceptual design studies for new research infrastructures, which are of a clear European dimension and interest. Such studies should address all key questions which will help to assess the technical and financial feasibility of the proposed new facility. The outcome of the work should be a conceptual design report. Major upgrades of existing infrastructures may also be considered, when the end result is intended to be equivalent to, or be capable of replacing, a new infrastructure.” • “All fields of science and technologies could be considered. Projects identified as “emerging” by ESFRI are also welcome. This action would also foster the emergence of new organisational models designed to consolidate a sustainable approach to e-Infrastructures, in particular in the domain of grids and data repositories.” • Construction of new infrastructure • to provide a catalytic and leveraging support for the construction of critical new facilities based on the ESFRI roadmap for new research infrastructures of pan-European interest. This activity will follow a two stage-approach: • Stage 1 - support to the preparatory phase: This first phase will involve, in particular, the finalisation of the detailed construction plans, of the legal organisation, of the management and multi-annual financial planning • Stage 2 - support to the implementation phase: this phase involves the actual construction, building on the technical, legal, administrative and financial agreement achieved during the preparatory phase between all stakeholders. Community financial support for the implementation phase will be very limited and may be indirect, e.g. through the Risk Sharing Finance Facility (RSFF), or direct, but only in few cases, where there is a critical need for such a support 3rd ILIAS GW Meeting - ICL - London

  10. Meanwhile the ESFRIroadmap is out • Gravitational Wavesare not in • Expected, but… • The document is confusing about near and far future projects 3rd ILIAS GW Meeting - ICL - London

  11. Astroparticle physics in FP6 • Projects approved, in chronological order: • ILIAS (Integrated activities on GW , DM and DbD) • KM3-Net (Design Study on neutrinos detector) • ASPERA (ERA-NET: roadmap maker) • Project rejected: • HEAP-Net (Integrated activities on HEn, g-rays, cosmic rays) • ApPEC • ApPEC promoted all the projects above 3rd ILIAS GW Meeting - ICL - London

  12. The future • The FP7 will take action next year • Continuing the positive experience of ILIAS  ILIAS-NEXT • The GW community has submitted 4 LoIs • DS for 3rd Generation Interferometer • Network • Construction DUAL • RTN for LISA 3rd ILIAS GW Meeting - ICL - London

  13. ILIAS-NEXT 3rd ILIAS GW Meeting - ICL - London

  14. ILIAS-NEXT schematic N4 GW net N5 DM net N6 nM net 3rd ILIAS GW Meeting - ICL - London

  15. GW net • Contact person • Raffaele Flaminio • Objectives • To exchange of information: • Commissioning of existing detectors • Network data analysis • With other fields of Astronomy (g-rays, HE cosmic rays and n) • Development of the science case for future detectors • Investigation on the properties of gravitational wave sources • To support the access of more people from more countries to the existing infrastructures by means of a visitor program 3rd ILIAS GW Meeting - ICL - London

  16. MM Net • Contact person • Geppo Cagnoli • Some considerations • The most interesting fields related to GW are outside ILIAS (HEAP-Net) • The extend of the objectives depends on how muchthe Astroparticle community is excited by this project • Minimal goal: held meetings on astronomical sources of interest for several research fields • Managing • One representative for each field • MMNet: a THNet working package? 3rd ILIAS GW Meeting - ICL - London

  17. Next meeting of ASPERA 3rd ILIAS GW Meeting - ICL - London

  18. Final comments • Representatives of our field should attend the Astroparticle physics meetings • To tackle the possible misunderstanding coming up from the ESFRI roadmap • What role in ILIAS-NEXT? • HEAP Net ? • Next to come • The Valencia Meeting is very important for the future of MM Net • 1st draft of the MM Net proposal has to be ready by 15th Dec. • Integration of ILIAS-NEX proposal by 15th Jan. • Presentation of ILIAS-NEXT on 1st March 2007 3rd ILIAS GW Meeting - ICL - London
