The European Approach to Infrastructures the
ESFRI Roadmap

• Elena Righi-Steele
• European Commission and
• ESFRI Physical Sciences Engineering Roadmap
  Working Group

Research Infrastructures and capacity building 

• Research Infrastructures of pan-European
  relevance provide unique opportunities for
• world-level research
• world-level training
• stimulating technology knowledge transfer
• ensuring knowledge preservation
• in brief for European Capacity Building 

4
Excellence and Research Infrastructures 

• Europe has a long-standing tradition of
  excellence in research and its teams continue to
  lead progress in many fields
• However our centres of excellence often fail
  to reach critical mass
• There is a need to bring resources together
  and to build a research and innovation area
  equivalent to the "common market" 

5
What is ESFRI?

• A European Strategy Forum on Research
  Infrastructures
• Launched in April 02
• Brings together representatives of the 25
  Member States,7 Associated States, and one
  representative of the European Commission (EC)

6
Role of ESFRI

• To foster an open method of coordination
  between different countries
• To discuss the long term vision at European level
  and to support the development of a European RI
  policy
• To bring initiatives and projects to a point
  where decisions by ministers are possible
• A simulation and incubator role

7
The Roadmap

• Mandate from the Council of Ministers,November
  2004
• The Roadmap is the result of two years of
  intensive work
• About 1000 high-level experts were involved, from
  every MS and AS, from most fields and user
  communities, giving the end product credibility
  and quality.
• It is the beginning of an ongoing process

8
The Roadmap (2)

• Addressing seven (7) fields of Research and major
  challenges
• From about original 200 proposals, thirty five
  (35) projects have been identified through
  several review stages
• Community produced ideas that will open up new
  and unexpected areas of knowledge
• Some fields should be stimulated for further
  integration

  propulsion systems and deep drilling capability
• for use in extreme conditions in excess of 4,000
  m water depth
• high ice performance to penetrate autonomously
  into the central Arctic ocean with 2.5 metres of
  ice cover, during all seasons.

Environmental Sciences

• protection, management and sustainable use of
  biodiversity
• network of observatories, facilities for data
  integration and interoperability
• virtual laboratories offering a range of
  analytical and modelling tools
• a Service Centre providing special services for
  scientific and policy users, including training
  and research opportunities for young scientists

Global Dimension

• Several of the projects on the Roadmap require a
  global approach 
• ESFRI will enter into a dialogue with the OECD
  Global Science Forum for the identification,
  planning, discussion and monitoring of such
  projects
• Major players are Australia, China, India, Japan,
  Russia, South Africa, USA

25
Who is the Roadmap for ?

• Policy Makers
• Researchers
• Funders
• Industry

ESFRI welcomes the active role which the European
Commission intends to play under the 7th
Framework Programme.
26
Critical Issues

• Developing transferable and global financial and
  legal structures for Research Infrastructures
• Ensuring the human capacity is available and
  making it attractive for young people
• Interfaces with industry

27
More is to come

• Implementation of the Roadmap
• some of the projects will be in place already
  next year
• Strengthening the European Research Area
• Research Infrastructures as majorcornerstones
• Continuation of the ESFRI work
• ESFRI encourages constructive debate

28
Implementation of the RoadmapPreparatory Phase

• EC Research Infrastructures action
• Two targeted calls for proposals for Roadmap
  projects
• Total budget 200M (1st call 135M)
• Preparatory phase support for work needed to
  bring the project to the construction phase
• Strategic work
• Governance and logistic work
• Financial work
• Legal work
• Technical work
