Towards Research Infrastructures in FP7

From FP6 to FP7: European Strategy Forum on RI Objectives Objectives –Support a coherent and strategy-led approach to policy making on RI in Europe –Facilitate multilateral initiatives for the development of RI: best use of existing infrastructures and creation of new ones Achievements Achievements –Strategy roadmaps and coordination: neutron sources, free electron lasers, marine science, social sciences infrastructures Future: reinforcement and consolidation of ESFRI role Future: reinforcement and consolidation of ESFRI role –Coherent strategic agenda, improved working methods, common approaches, multilateral initiatives –Contacts with EIRO forum and other stakeholders

First thoughts Continuation of the FP6 actions on RI Continuation of the FP6 actions on RI Discussion on the actions related to the construction and functioning of new infrastructures of EU interest Discussion on the actions related to the construction and functioning of new infrastructures of EU interest –through a ‘TEN’ – like mechanism ? –taking into account strategic criteria on: a priority lista priority list the location of new RIthe location of new RI Perspectives of collaboration with the EU Structural funds and the EIB Perspectives of collaboration with the EU Structural funds and the EIB

A “top-down” approach Support for the development of future RI of EU interest based on: Support for the development of future RI of EU interest based on: –a strategic, long term vision and identification of priority needs for large, new or upgraded RI in the next years: roadmap(s) –more targeted support for specific RI projects –increased use of financial engineering to support new RI In consultation with ESFRI In consultation with ESFRI In close cooperation with EIRO forum, ESF, and other potential stakeholders In close cooperation with EIRO forum, ESF, and other potential stakeholders

Strategic Roadmap(s) Strategic Roadmap(s) Guiding Principles: Guiding Principles: –Clear methodology for elaborating the roadmap(s) –Transparency and impartiality –Support by all stakeholders –Endorsement by the Council of Ministers –Periodic revision(s) Criteria for inclusion: Criteria for inclusion: –New infrastructures (or major upgrades) –Scientific importance and excellence –Endorsement by the EU scientific community –Technology feasibility study exists –Justification for EC intervention Criteria for prioritisation: Criteria for prioritisation: –Timeliness and readiness for construction –Management and long-term budget estimates –Potential impacts and long term user needs –International added value

Proposed priority list of new RI Council Resolution Inclusion in Specific RTD Programme(s) Inclusion in FEDER RELEX strategic plans Stakeholders incl. EIROs Member states European Commission Inclusion in national Programmes Projects EIB

Design studies Construction Running costs, upgrades and interconnections M€ FP With continuous national support, also for running costs FEDER BEI Agencies Private Other Timeline: 20 to 50 years FP7 and after: Levels of support at project level Preliminary studies
