Developing new world-class research infrastructures *

H2020-INFRADEV-1-2015-1Sub call of: H2020-INFRADEV-2014-2015

Planned Opening date 24-09-2014 - Publication date 11-12-2013 - Deadline Date 14-01-2015 17:00:00

Total Call Budget €104,000,000 Main Pillar Excellent Science

Topic: Individual implementation and operation of ESFRI projects INFRADEV-3-2015

Topic Description

Specific challenge: The research infrastructures identified in the ESFRI roadmap or in the European strategy

for particle physics have benefitted from EU support for their preparatory phase. Some of them have already

moved on to the implementation phase and/or have started their operation. The initial phase is, however, the

most delicate and difficult one for new pan-European infrastructures in the process to become fully

operational as technologies, services and procedures need to be finalised and best tuned, financial

sustainability must be proved and users’ trust and awareness must be gained.

Scope: Under the 2014-2015 work programme this topic will target the implementation and initial operation

of new research infrastructures which are identified by ESFRI, in the context of the prioritisation exercise, as

essential to extend the frontiers of knowledge in the fields concerned and mature enough to be under

implementation by 2015-2016. Following the specific conclusions by the Competitiveness Council on the

priority list identified by ESFRI and the Council's call upon Member States to concentrate their available

national resources on the respective prioritised projects they are financially participating in, the EU will focus

the support available for this topic on the following prioritised research infrastructures: ELIXIR, EPOS and the

European Spallation Source. The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU

in the range of EUR 15-20 million, assessed according to their respective financial volume, would allow this

challenge to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of

proposals requesting other amounts.

The new research infrastructures addressed by this topic are the ones that are

setting up, or have already set up, their governance and legal structure, notably

on the basis of the European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) or any

suitable structure at European or international level. Support will be provided for

implementation and initial operation activities, such as enlargement of the

membership, enhancement of the technical architecture, development of

innovative components, central coordination, access provision, data

management (including possible open access to data), training, outreach,

international cooperation, research and innovation activities. Specific

attention will be given to the interaction with end-users (notably industry and

SMEs). Activities may also foster the development of Regional Partner

Facilities. The detailed list of activities that can be supported under this topic

is given in part B of the section “Specific features for Research

Infrastructures”.

Starting Points

• EPOS IP is a ≈20 M€ proposal within H2020

• EPOS IP is the consequence of EPOS being selected among EU priorities

• EPOS IP has the effective goal to implement TCS and ICS

• EPOS IP will differ from EPOS PP in:

– Goals: from design/validation to implementation/construction

– Partnership: partners are makers and TCS/ICS developers

– Management: need for an effective control of expenditures

– Human Resources: a realistic allocation of human resources and skills

– Coordination: need for a clear link with EPOS-ERIC

– Expectations: high visibility and proper risk management

– Sustainability: it will be a key objective to convince BGR
