Milestones Final Meeting AIDA-2020 Status , April 4, 2019
Deliverables Management Reports (TA, PoC, Use of Results) It is possible to submit Deliverable Reports in advance of the deadline... AIDA-2020 Status , April 4, 2019
Costs reported and claimed for P1 + P2 • Over-spending explained to EC – still should not exaggerate • Internally more worried about underspending • Lack of activity • Re-distribution of funds AIDA-2020 Status , April 4, 2019
Use of resources by end 2018 UNIGLA ULUND UNILIV AGH-UST ITAINNOVA Beneficiaries in red have spent <60% of their full costs by end of 2018 AIDA-2020 Status , April 4, 2019
Re-distribution of Underspending • MT and the SC met and agreed on a proposal • Apply same rule for final re-imbursement as in periodic ones: • EC = EC contribution, IRUS = Full cost (internal reporting) • Reimburse = min (EC-tot, EC-claimed, EC-tot * (Full-IRUS-spent / Full-IRUS-commitd)) • Apply grace margin • This can and probably will lead to underspending for some partners • Since in total we are overspending, extra funds to allocate • There are several options for the redistribution algorithm • A) prop to Overspending = Full-IRUS-spent – Full-IRUS-committed • B) prop to pledged Matching funds = Full-IRUS-committed – EC-total • C) prop to actual Matching funds = Full-IRUS-spent – EC-total • Beneficiaries can receive extra funds only if they have claimed, approved and matched extra cost • Discussion and vote at GB tomorrow AIDA-2020 Status , April 4, 2019
New Call in Horizon 2020 • Informal information from meeting at Brussels on March 5 • FP8 Call 5: Large initiatives and support measures to foster the innovation potential of research infrastructures: • New directions in EC funding instruments, addressing established communities • Following consultations with communities to prepare for FP9 • To be published in summer • INFRAINNOV-03-2020 - Co-Innovation platform for research infrastructure technologies (2020 – xx M€) • This is where ATTRACT phase 2 will be • INFRAINNOV-04-2020 - Innovation pilots (2020 – yy M€, max zz M€ each) • Innovation in light source technologies • Innovation in detector technologies • Innovation in accelerator technologies • Deadline March 17, 2020 AIDA-2020 Status , April 4, 2019
Innovation in AIDA++ and ATTRACT • Separation between call II-03 and II-04, in particular AIDA++ and ATTRACT • II-03 aims at innovation for markets outside RI • II-04 innovation for the delivery of services, or new services of RI • What is Innovation? • For ATTRACT: launch of a new product to market • For us: we are invited to interpret the topic for our community • Can be incremental • Low and high TRLs** • * RI – Research Infrastructure • ** TRL - Technological readiness level AIDA-2020 Status , April 4, 2019
Innovation Pilots • Objective: • Support RI*networks developing and implementing a common strategy/roadmapincluding technological development required for improving their services through partnership with industry; • Support incremental innovation and cooperation with industry and academia inareas such as scientific instrumentation • Target: • Advanced Integrated Activities**, which have reached a high level of integration and can focus on joint research developments • * RI – Research Infrastructure • ** e.g. AIDA-2020 AIDA-2020 Status , April 4, 2019
Scope, Guidance, Tools • Development of roadmap/strategic agenda for the construction and upgrade of RI • Development of technologies & techniques underpinning the use of the RI • Prototyping corresponding methodologies & instrumentation • Early stage involvement of industry as beneficiary and supplyer • Sustainability plan requested (co-funding of roadmap) • Complementarities between the two innovation actions required • Tools: JRA, NA type of activities -but no TA • Proof of Concept (competitive allocation after start of project) possible, e.g. for low TRL, higher risk projects (“blue sky”) AIDA-2020 Status , April 4, 2019
Upcoming Challenges • Future lepton colliders • Higher precision, less material • Requirements for linear and circular machines very similar • Except electronics, powering, cooling • Circular machines have much higher rates and require continuous powering • Need to push limits of particle ID • Gaeous tracking • Most aggressive requirements may be posed by the Z factory • 1e5 x LEP statistics • Non-collider experiments • HL-LHC upgrades now moving to production • R&D largely done - will not guide AIDA++ • New in AIDA-2020 – could be expanded • Precision mechanics and CO2 micro-cooling • Large cryogenic detectors • Future hadron colliders • Fast timing for pile-up rejection increasingly important • Sensors, electronics and test infrastructures, beam instrumentation • Radiation tolerance requirements even more demanding • Sensors, electronics and “low-tech”: powering • Highly granular Lar calorimeters • Irradiation facilities • Machine learning for fast track and image reconstruction, trigger AIDA-2020 Status , April 4, 2019

Main Challenges for a New Proposal • No Transnational Access: • This was one of our biggest successes; need to find new ways of directing EC funds to facilities; WP15-type of upgrade (“innovation”) activities, network • Involvement of industrial partners as beneficiaries: • Works in parallel Accelerator Initiative ARIES; need to understand how to protect their IP; start with known partners • Emerging roadmap of future collider projects: • Need to establish our own technological roadmap, in the proposal and during the project, long-term projects require intermediate goals • Sustainability of matching funds: • Will need to find ways to demonstrate the long-term commitment of partners AIDA-2020 Status , April 4, 2019
New Proposal Timeline • Proposal submission deadline March 17, 2020 • Call will be published in July • Alignment with European Strategy Process will be challenging • CERN taking the lead and will ensure administrative support • Research Director nominated proposal coordinator • First discussions starting here at Oxford, main slot Friday lunchtime • Call for Expressions of Interest in May, deadline end of June • sub-community discussions should be prepared • Foresee scrutiny of EoIs by rapporteurs • Open community meeting early September: tentatively Sept 6 (or 4) • Formation of Proposal preparation team • Submission in march, evaluation in June • Start of new project end of 2020 possible AIDA-2020 Status , April 4, 2019
Summary • AIDA-2020 is on the home stretch • Almost all Milestones passed, most Deliverables in hand • Extended into 5th year until April 2020 • LHC LC synergies unfold, integrating neutrinos • Lobbying for a follow-up was successful • Not just another AIDA: emphasis on Innovation • Preparing for a a new proposal starts now • Thank you to all who fill AIDA-2020 with life! • In particular to the SAP, to all WP Coordinators and to my MT colleagues Livia, Sabrina, Daniela, Paolo and Svet AIDA-2020 Status , April 4, 2019
ATTRACT & AIDA-2020++ ATTRACT • Emerging communities • Competitive • Independent projects • Fully bottom-up approach • Break-through development • Co-innovation for non-HEP markets • Third-party funding • Diversifying AIDA-2020++ • Advanced community • Collaborative, compete globally • Interdependent work packages • Aligned with European Strategy and corresponding roadmaps • Evolutionary development • Innovation mainly via pre-procurement R&D for HEP • Leverage on national funding • Integrating AIDA-2020 Status , April 4, 2019
Collaboration agreements • Emphasis is on keeping each other informed • Avoid duplication and double-funding • Information exchange, mutual invitations • Dividing line for double funding should be drawn • Provide access to results for other projects • if needed; the giving side decides • CA’s within II-04 and between II-03 and II-04 • ATTRACT just finished selection of projects for seed funding • 150 projects à 100k, should be known now or soon • 5-10 multi-M€projects for growth phase only after submission of our next proposal AIDA-2020 Status , April 4, 2019
