Research Infrastructures EU strategy and opportunities for

cooperation

Odessa, November 1, 2011

Page 2: Anna Maria Johansson

Facilities, resources, and related services used by the scientific community

Major scientific equipment Scientific collections, archives and

structured information ICT-based infrastructures

Extending the frontiers of knowledgeExchanging and transmitting knowledgeTraining the next generation of top researchersSupporting industrial innovation

Page 3: Anna Maria Johansson

Importance of a European approach for Research Infrastructures

To open access to instruments and services not available in one country, and improve services

To connect national research communities and increase the overall quality of the research

To share construction and operation costs

To develop interoperability of facilities and resources

To exchange best practice

To become an international partner

Page 4: Anna Maria Johansson

FP7 actions for Research Infrastructures

Optimising the use and development of the best existing research infrastructures in Europe

E-Infrastructures Integrating Activities

Helping to create in all fields of S&T new research infrastructures of pan-European interest needed by the European scientific community

Design studies Preparatory Phase of ESFRI projects Implementation Phase of ESFRI projects

Page 5: Anna Maria Johansson

Integrating Activities

Objective To bring together and integrate, on a European

scale, key research infrastructures in a given class, in order to promote their coordinated use and development

Mandatory activities Networking Activities Trans-national Access and/or Service Activities Joint Research Activities

Page 6: Anna Maria Johansson

Design Studies

Objectives: to contribute to conceptual design studies for new research infrastructures , that demonstrates a clear European dimension and interest.

Major upgrades of existing infrastructures may also be considered, when the end result is the develpmemnt of a new type or form of research infrastructure with a clear value at European level

Open for all fields of S&T

Page 7: Anna Maria Johansson

Preparatory phase

Objectives: to provide catalytic and leveraging support for the preparatory phase leading to the construction of new RIs Building primarily upon the work conducted by

ESFRI Bringing the project to the level of legal and

financial maturity Involving all the necessary stakeholders to make

the project move forward, take decision, etc.

Activities: legal work, governance, strategic work, financial work and, if necessary, technical work

Page 8: Anna Maria Johansson

Implementation phase

Objectives: to support the actual implementation of new research infrastructures (or major upgrades of existing ones).

The implementation phase should include all appropriate coordination activities as well as the relevant technical work.

Page 9: Anna Maria Johansson

Support to policy development and programme implementation

Objectives: to enhance the effectiveness and coherence of national and Community research policies, international cooperation and the analysis of emerging needs in the field of RIs

ESFRI – European Strategy Forum on Research

Infrastructures Set up by the EU Council of Research

Ministers in 2002 Brings together representatives of Ministers

of the 27 Member States, 10 Associated States, and of the European Commission

Supports a coherent and strategy-led approach to policy making on Research Infrastructures

Mandate to develop a Roadmap (2006) and its updates (2008, 2010)

contains 48 projects requiring major financial investment (~20 b€)

and long term commitment for operation (~2 b€/year)

Implementation

«A combination of resources from national budgets, Community programmes, EIB instruments and structural funds should lead to the development of excellent research infrastructures throughout Europe»

Competitiveness (Internal Market, Industry and Research) Council of March 5-6, 2009

National Roadmaps for Research Infrastructures

Roadmap in place

Roadmap under preparation

National funding reserved for new/updated RIs

ERIC: European Research Infrastructure Consortium

A new legal framework, at EU level, to facilitate the joint establishment and operation of Research Infrastructures of European interest among several countries

A legal personality recognised in all EU Member States

Non-EU countries can be members

Current status: First ERIC status awarded to SHARE

on 17 March 2011 Other applications under progress

CLARIN, ECRIN, EuroArgo

« Europe 2020 », the European strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth (COM(2010) 2020)

Seven flagship initiatives

« Innovation Union » flagship initiative:

Endorsed by Heads of State in early 2011

Comprehensive set of actions to stimulate research and innovation

Seamless support from basic science to the support of market implementation of innovative developments

EU perspectives

Page 16: Anna Maria Johansson

« … opening of Member State operated research infrastructures to the full European user community… »

« By 2015 (…) have completed or launched the construction of 60% of the priority European research infrastructures currently identified by the ESFRI (…). The Member States are invited to review their Operational Programmes to facilitate the use of cohesion policy money for this purpose.»

« The European Union should step up its cooperation on the roll-out of the global research infrastructures… »

ERA framework

• Heads of State and Government set out in Feb. 2011 the ambitious goal of completing the ERA by 2014 with the creation of a single market for knowledge, research and innovation.

• Public consultation on the Framework launched on Sept.13 (until 30 November 2011)

• Link to the consultation: http://ec.europa.eu/research/consultations/era/consultation_en.htm
