Research Infrastructures• Research infrastructures are facilities, resources and services that are used by the

research communities to conduct research and foster innovation.

Major scientific equipmentsKnowledge-based resources

e-infrastructures

Why an EU approach forResearch 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

From FP7 to Horizon 2020

More focused support to the implementation and operation of world-class infrastructures such as ESFRI projects

Broader access to and deeper integration of European research infrastructures Assure the sustainability during the life cycle of the RI (European / National RI

roadmaps, new type of users, market analysis, business plan) Foster the innovation potential of research infrastructures Widen the participation to pan-European research infrastructures More support to e-infrastructures Reinforce policy support to European strategy on research infrastructures Develop international dimension of the actions

PPI (Public Procurement of Innovative Solutions)1

•  PPI actions aim to enable groups of procurers to share the risks of acting as early adopters of innovative solutions

•  Contracting authorities act as a launch customer of innovative goods or services which are not yet available on a large-scale commercial basis, and may include conformance testing

•  The buyers group must contain minimum two legal independent entities which are public procurers that are established in two different Member States or associated countries.

Award criteria and scores

Rules regarding the evaluation and selection of proposal are described in detail in Annex H (p.36-41) of the Work Program 2016-2017

Award Criteria Excellence Impact Quality and efficiency •  Clarity and

pertinence of the objectives

•  Soundness of the concept, and credibility of the proposed methodology

•  The extent to which the outputs of the project would contribute to each of the expected impacts mentioned in the work programme under the relevant topic

•  Quality and effectiveness of the work plan, including extent to which the resources assigned to work packages are in line with their objectives and deliverables;

•  Appropriateness of the management structures and procedures, including risk and innovation management;

•  Complementarity of the participants and extent to which the consortium as whole brings together the necessary expertise;

•  Appropriateness of the allocation of tasks, ensuring that all participants have a valid role and adequate resources in the project to fulfil that role.

Maximum score 5 5 5 Threshold individual criterion

3 3 3

Overall threshold 10

•  Additional criteria must be considered per type of action (RIA, CSA, PPI)

•  Exceptions to the general rules and criteria are clearly written in the Work Program (see "Conditions for the Call) and take precedence over the general conditions
