Results of the Calls 8 and 9 Overall performances
“Within the scope of this Community action, the term "research infrastructures" refers to facilities, resources and related services that are used by the scientific community to conduct top-level research in their respective fields. This definition covers: major scientific equipment or set of instruments; knowledge based-resources such as collections, archives or structured scientific information; enabling ICT-based infrastructures such as Grid, computing, software and communications; any other entity of a unique nature essential to achieve excellence in research. Such research infrastructures may be "single-sited" or "distributed" (a network of resources). This Community action will only consider the optimization, or emergence, of research infrastructures with a clear European* dimension and added value in terms of performance and access. These infrastructures must contribute significantly to the development of European research capacities”.

Conclusions
Integrating Activities & Design Studies
Good balance between scientific domains Targeted approach has stimulated some communities
towards the coordination of their efforts
However strong reduction of budget at EU level need to improve the coordination in Italian SSH and LS
communities for a better impact at European level need to develop coordinated vision and actions shared
by the various stakeholders
