Kickoff meeting SJTU, July 24 th, 2009 Denis Perret-Gallix IN2P3-CNRS Asia-Pacific Cooperation Global research, Local funding Research is now Global, whether competitive or collaborative... no boundaries But the funding is mostly local … at the country level –Some progress at the regional level in Europe (CERN, EMBO, EUC-Research,..) but not in Asia yet. –No inter-regional research organisation –Learning from the ITER negotiation drama No world-wide research coordination established A single project to be shared by several countries, but to be located in only one.

Kickoff meeting SJTU, July 24 th, 2009 Denis Perret-Gallix IN2P3-CNRS Asia-Pacific Cooperation A Summit on Physics Well defined field, common needs, used to international cooperation –Physics often implies large scale infrastructures/networks  worldwide coordination is most needed Physics is multipronged: –Knowledge research: simpler for setting international project (no patents) –Elementary Physics processes are often at the basis of the other research field (chemistry, life/brain science, …) –Physics based instruments/detectors have provided major progress in other fields The financial crisis, environmental, energy and health issues are global matters –They call for more basic/applied research (where physics plays a major role). –They need therefore global endeavours, but no international coordination yet exist (cf. stimuli plans)

Kickoff meeting SJTU, July 24 th, 2009 Denis Perret-Gallix IN2P3-CNRS Asia-Pacific Cooperation Research, Funding and Industry The three mandatory research partners Very little communication organised at the country level, almost none at the regional or global level Need to find ways to merge the top-down and bottom-up policies. –The Society needs –The basic science needs, –The country level and global strategies

Kickoff meeting SJTU, July 24 th, 2009 Denis Perret-Gallix IN2P3-CNRS Asia-Pacific Cooperation Overview World economies and our own quality of life are bound to innovation. Basic research often induces changes of civilization; creates new industry But Basic research is now global. International cooperation is a necessity (large infrastructures) and a must (against the knowledge divide). Asia - North-America – Europe (Russia) form the basis for any world- wide project.  One must reinforce the Europe-Asia cooperation to have a balanced and stable basis for the foundation of world-wide projects.  The Asia-Euro Physics Summit is a first step in this direction
