A definition for Research Infrastructures
• Term refers to “facilities”, “resources” and related “services” that are needed by the research community to conduct research in all scientific and technological fields
• Definition covers: major equipments, knowledge based resources (collections, archives,…), enabling ICT-based infrastructures (Géant, Grids,…) and any other entity of a unique nature used for research

Objectives of the Research Infrastructures actions
§ Optimising the use and development of the best research infrastructures existing in Europe
§ Helping to create in all fields of S & T new research infrastructures of pan-European interest needed by the European scientific community
![Page 8: Research Infrastructures: Towards FP7 · Journée d’information 7e PCRD 21 Septembre 2006 - Grenoble Brigitte Sambain, Jean-Emmanuel Faure European Commission, DG Research Research](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042315/5f03ddbd7e708231d40b26eb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
FP7 will continue supporting the integration of existing RIs
• Integrating Activities to promote the coherent use and development of research infrastructures in a given field
• Development of e-infrastructures in support of scientific research
Implementation through:
• Bottom-up calls for proposals open to all fields of science
• Targeted calls implemented in cooperation with thematic areas
![Page 9: Research Infrastructures: Towards FP7 · Journée d’information 7e PCRD 21 Septembre 2006 - Grenoble Brigitte Sambain, Jean-Emmanuel Faure European Commission, DG Research Research](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042315/5f03ddbd7e708231d40b26eb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The I3 model under FP7
• The three types of activities will be compulsory
• At least three independent legal entities established in three different Member States or Associated States. At least one of these legal entities must operate a research infrastructure
• Operators of research infrastructures, universities and other public research organisations as well as industry, for example equipment manufacturers
![Page 10: Research Infrastructures: Towards FP7 · Journée d’information 7e PCRD 21 Septembre 2006 - Grenoble Brigitte Sambain, Jean-Emmanuel Faure European Commission, DG Research Research](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042315/5f03ddbd7e708231d40b26eb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
FP7 will also increase support to new research infrastructures
• Design studies: to support feasibility studies and technical preparatory work for new research infrastructures of clear European dimension and interest (through bottom-up calls)
• Construction of new infrastructures and major upgrades to existing ones
The list of projects to be supported will be based on the work conducted by the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI)
![Page 11: Research Infrastructures: Towards FP7 · Journée d’information 7e PCRD 21 Septembre 2006 - Grenoble Brigitte Sambain, Jean-Emmanuel Faure European Commission, DG Research Research](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042315/5f03ddbd7e708231d40b26eb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
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)

ESFRI’sESFRI’s role and ambitionsrole and ambitions
• To jointly reflect on the development of policies for pan-European Research Infrastructures
• To prepare a European Roadmap (with regular updates as different areas mature)
• To act as an incubator for concrete RI projects with pan-European interest… but it is not a decision making body

Objectives of the ESFRI Roadmap(scheduled for October 2006)
• Identification of new research infrastructures or major upgrades which correspond to the needs of European research communities
• Tool for decision makers, preventing over-provision of facilities in particular areas
• Providing a focus for long term budgetary planning by funding actors
• Criteria for entering the roadmap: scientific and concept case (maturity)

A two-stage process:
• The preparatory phase- restricted calls targeting projects identified on
the ESFRI Roadmap, in a first stepF to support the finalisation of the construction plans, of the legal organisation and of the management aspects
Construction of new Research Infrastructures under FP7
• The implementation phase- developed following the satisfactory
achievement of the preparatory phase
