AMICI 2nd Annual Meeting, Salerno| January 22, 2018

7. Possible extension of the project ?
We propose to ask for a 3 or 4 month extension:
Some tasks have not progressed according to the initial plan and would benefit from additional time
Difficulty to write the final report during the vacation period
Organization of the European Forum seems difficult before end of June
Some tasks to be prolonged have to be identified and justification provided

AMICI 2nd Annual Meeting, Salerno| January 23, 2018

Participants: Ph. Froissard, P. Postigo, T. Ekelöf, G. Decroix (CEA/DRF, member of the RI PC), A. Gleeson, S. Leray, M. Morandin, O. Napoly
Agenda:
Short presentation by ON of the goals of AMICI as the EU project and as an integrated TI in the future
Views from the different non EC participants
View from EC
Summary
It will be very difficult to have an additional line for TIs in the WP 2020
EC is convinced of the importance of TFs for the construction of future RIs but consider that support should come mainly from the Member States
We should give numbers proving the importance of TIs and the benefit of organizing ourselves in a coordinated network in particular for industry (they expected more concrete progress in the mid-term report)
TIs cannot be on the ESFRI since they do not fulfill the criteria but their importance should be recognized by ESFRI: EC proposes that we be invited in an ESFRI meeting mid 2019 to present our case.
AMICI 2nd Annual Meeting, Salerno| January 23, 2018

16. Meeting with Ph. Froissard in Brussels (11/10/2018)
Actions:
Quantify what would be the cost of building RIs without our TFs through examples, in particular ESS: CEA, INFN, STFC, UU, IFJ-PAN,… should estimate roughly the cost of the TFs, including the training of highly skilled personnel, that are used to achieve their task in the construction (TE)
Proposition : Evaluate the costs (not only financial ones) associated with a scenario in which TI are not maintained but just upgraded once they are needed for a project w.r.t. a second scenario in which they are continuously exploited and maintained (TE).
Quantify the cost of opening our facilities to industry or to other partners: personnel needed to organize the access, to run the facility continuously, cost of additional quality assurance, standardization procedures, to promote the TFs potential, etc… on a few examples of some TFs in different labs (MM+SL)
Prepare as soon as possible a document describing the model for sustainability that we are proposing for the integrated TI.

17. Strategy for the future
First finalize the collaboration scheme that we would like for an AMICI-2, independently of the possibility of funding, with as strong as possible arguments and support from industry
Check that this scheme is supported by our authorities
Propose the list of possible actions / activities that would be organized within AMICI-2 with a degree of ambition depending of the available funding, aiming at a sustainable funding model
Simultaneously, continue to try convincing EC that TIs should be recognized and supported

INFRAINNOV : Innovation pilots Specific Challenge: Pan-European Research Infrastructures use more and more sophisticated technologies not available on the market, which require ad-hoc developments and often the use of large-scale platforms combining R&D (Research and Development), integration and validation. These platforms can also provide longer-term visibility and involvement of industry in scientific and technological advancements and therefore ensure greater socio-economic impact. Scope: Funding will be provided to research infrastructure networks to kick-start the implementation of a common strategy/roadmap for technological developments required for improving their services through partnership with industry. Proposals should then involve research infrastructures, industry and SMEs to promote innovation and knowledge sharing through co-creation of needed technical solutions and make use, when appropriate, of large-scale platforms combining R&D (Research and Development), integration and validation for the technological developments. Proposals should address: • if not already done, the identification of key techniques and trends which are crucial for future construction and upgrade of the involved Research Infrastructures and the definition of roadmaps and/or strategic agendas for their development, in close partnership with the industrial partners, especially with innovative SMEs; • the development of the identified fundamental technologies or techniques underpinning the efficient and joint use of the involved research infrastructures, taking into due account resource efficiency and environmental (including climate-related) impacts. • the prototyping of higher performance methodologies, protocols, and instrumentation, including the testing of components, subsystems, materials, and dedicated software, needed to upgrade the involved research infrastructures or construct their next generation. As the grant will not cover the full implementation of the common strategy/roadmap for technological developments, proposals should define a sustainability plan for its further implementation. Proposals should contribute to fostering the potential for innovation, including social innovation, of research infrastructures by reinforcing the partnership with industry, through e.g. transfer of knowledge and other dissemination activities, activities to promote the use of research infrastructures by industrial researchers, involvement of industrial associations in consortia or in advisory bodies.

A proposition
AND, since in the text of the INFRAINNOV-02 call it is written
While the past pilot action mainly addressed the industrial applications of detection and imaging technologies in the fields of medicine, manufacturing industry, aerospace, ICT, engineering, environmental sciences, proposals under this topic can also encompass different research infrastructure technologies.
ask that part of the money devoted to this call could be devoted to R&D projects related to accelerators and magnets
This would allow to have the part of ARIES and FuSuMaTech devoted to R&D funded in INFRAINNOV-02 and AMICI, incorporating parts of ARIES and FuSuMaTech not devoted to R&D, in INFRAINNOV-03
