Facilities, resources, organisational systems and services that are used by the research communities to conduct research and innovation in their fields This includes: major scientific equipment (or sets of instruments); knowledge-based resources such as collections, archives or scientific data; e-infrastructures, such as data, computing and software systems; any other infrastructure of a unique nature essential to achieve excellence in research and innovation

Why a EU approach? To open access to the research infrastructures existing in the individual Member State to all European researchers To avoid duplication of effort and to coordinate and rationalise the use of these research infrastructures To trigger the exchange of best practice, develop interoperability of facilities and resources, develop the training of the next generation of researchers To connect national research communities and increase the overall quality of the research and innovation To help pooling resources so that the Union can also acquire and operate research infrastructures at world level

ERIC - European Research Infrastructure Consortium (Council Regulation (EC) No 723/2009 of 25 June 2009) A legal instrument at EU level, to facilitate the joint establishment and operation of RI of European interest. Legal personality recognized in all Member States Qualifies as an international organization for the purposes of VAT (exemption under certain limits and conditions from VAT and excise duties) and Public Procurement Directives The two first ERICs: CLARIN and SHARE Amendment under way to enable contributions from Associated Countries to be fully taken into account 9

Euro-Argo : A new European Research Infrastructure ESFRI project – Example 1 Euro-Argo : A new European Research Infrastructure Objective: ensure a long term European contribution to Argo. Proposal : Europe establishes an infrastructure for ¼ of the global array Requirement : 250 floats per year including regional enhancements (Nordic seas, Mediterranean&Black seas) (about 50 floats per year for regional enhancements) Dual use : research/climate and operational oceanography (GMES) Set up a new European legal structure (Euro-Argo ERIC) that will allow European countries to consolidate and improve their contribution to Argo international. Agreements are at ministerial level and this will help to ensure long term sustainability. (slide from Euro-Argo partners - ASW-4 – Venice, September 27, 2012 )

Scientific & Training Services* ESFRI project – Example 2 EMBRC will be a RI of marine research stations across Europe providing End-Users from Academia, SMEs and Industry with access to marine biodiversity, its associated meta-data and extractable products. Scientific & Training Services* Access to Marine model species and their ecosystems, Culture Collections & Databases Research Vessels, SCUBA, ROVs Aquaria & Marine Experimental Facilities Analytical Platforms for Marine research -Omics Facilities including Bioinformatics Animal-borne Platforms Microscopy & Imaging Consultancy to: Policy Makers, Industry and SMEs Scientific Themes Biodiversity & Ecosystem Functioning Developmental Biology & Evolution Biogeochemistry & Global Change Marine Products & Resources Biomedical Sciences *EMBRC entrered its preparatory-phase in February 2011 (slides from EMBRC – ESFRI/JPI workshop, Brussel, June 2011
