Research Infrastructures in Horizon 2020 Philippe FROISSARD Deputy Head of Unit Research Infrastructures Unit European Commission – DG Research & Innovation

Research Infrastructures Research infrastructures are facilities, resources and services that are used by the research communities to conduct research and foster innovation. Major scientific equipments Knowledge-based resources e-infrastructures

Why an EU approach for Research Infrastructures? To address collectively the complexity and cost of the design and development of new world class research infrastructures To open access to the research infrastructures existing in the individual Member State to all European researchers To avoid duplication of efforts 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 develop and operate research infrastructures globally

FP7 support to RIs: €1,525 million Spread over 332 projects High focus on Networks of RIs: €686M Development of new RIs: €350M Development of e- infrastructures: €413M Analysis of data extracted from the Corda database – €200 million allocated to the RSFF - E-infra = funding schemes (additional e-infra projects are spread over other funding schemes DS, IP, policy support)

FP7 support to RIs: 5205 participations Predominantly to the benefit of organisations located in EU MS 5 core Western European countries: DE, UK, FR, IT, NL (about 65% of the funding) About 300 participations from Third countries: Russia (RIs); US and India (eRIs)

FP7 RIs: participations in EU Member States

FP7 RIs: users benefitting from transnational access Normalised data with size of scientific community shows TNA benefitting mostly to users from EU smaller countries and newer MS (data end 2012) First analysis of TNA users (data up to end 2012) Notes: Size of bubbles = Total nr researchers HE & public sector, FTE 2011 (source: Eurostat)

FP7 RIs: policy mix in the thematic areas Grand Challenges: Earth and Environmental sciences, Life sciences, Energy Design and construction of new RIs in Physical sciences Social sciences and Humanities – Big Data Support in scientific fields that are key for tackling the Grand Challenges

FP7 RIs: support to ESFRI projects All projects on the ESFRI roadmap have been supported in their Preparatory phase: 51 projects - €212M Implementation phase: PRACE and clusters - €90M Integrating activities such as BBMRI, SHARE, INFRAFRONTIER RSFF: E-ELT, loan of €300M; support to the European Spallation Source under discussion

Research Infrastructures in Horizon 2020 1. Developing the European RIs for 2020 and beyond Developing new world-class RIs Integrating and opening national and regional RIs of European interest Development, deployment and operation of ICT based e-Infrastructures 2. Fostering the innovation potential of RIs and their human resources 3. Reinforcing European RI policy and international cooperation

Call 1 - Developing new world-class RI 4 topics Design studies Preparatory Phase of ESFRI projects Individual implementation and operation of ESFRI projects Implementation and operation of cross-cutting services and solutions for clusters of ESFRI and other relevant RI initiatives

Call 2 - Integrating and opening RI of European interest Integrating Activities To open up key national and regional research infrastructures to all European researchers and to ensure their optimal use and joint development: Three mandatory components: Networking; Transnational / Virtual Access; Joint Research Activities for the improvement of RI services. Emphasis on management efficiency, innovation capacity (technology transfer, participation of SMEs, instrumentation development), international dimension, management of generated data…

WBC initiatives in Horizon 2020 for RI Background: FP7 policy support actions for mapping (INCO-NETs), policy fora and events (SEE Ministerial Conference organised by UNESCO in Nov 2012) One topic published on international cooperation for RI (INFRASUP-6, closure 2 Sept 2014): "Support multi-lateral cooperation with European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) countries and Western Balkan Countries. The proposal will aim at developing regional roadmaps of research infrastructures jointly with stakeholders and policymakers and help them develop closer cooperation with research infrastructures of pan-European interest through training, data management and trans-national access."

Future perspectives Preparation of the WP 2016-2017: consultation with stakeholders (ESFRI, e-IRG, EAG…) "Enhance openness and the global character of RI to enable Europe to play a leading role in science and innovation"
