Italian Participation in FP7 Programme Capacities Research Infrastructures Prof. Caterina Petrillo Italian Delegate to FP7 Capacities - Infrastructures Director of the Physics Department - University of Perugia Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia 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. *or national with possible connections with European initiatives Research Infrastructures in FP7 – Capacities

Italian Performance - Infrastructures 2007 – 2010

Italian Performance - Infrastructures

Italian Performance - Infrastructures Average success rate about 40% measured by either the ratio of financed to submitted or the ratio of funding received to funding asked for. Average funding percentage 10% given by the ratio of budget received to the budget available, with some peaks in specific actions like Design Studies and ICT-based infrastructures.

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 Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia
