Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia
With the establishment of the European Strategic Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) and with the publication of ESFRI’s roadmap for new and upgraded large-scale research infrastructures, Europe has taken a major step towards the development of a coherent policy for the implementation of Research Infrastructures.
European Approach
Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia
Member States are primarily responsible for the development of infrastructures Construction, maintenance, and modernization of leading-edge facilities require substantial investments, often out of reach for individual Member States Implementation of the ESFRI projects is a major challenge which require cooperation
National Level
Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia
Need for prioritization, development of joint cross border initiatives, synergy with national/regional plans, involvement of all potential stakeholders
Developing the Italian Roadmap of Infrastructures
enables national/regional priorities to connect with the ESFRI roadmap and at the same time to place these actions in a wider European context.
Coordination between the ESFRI roadmap and the national plan would be an important component of a coherent RI policy.

Italian Participation to International Research Organisations and Infrastructures Projects
Italy participates to the Inter-Governmental Research Organisations, some of which are part of the EIRO-Forum association (CERN, EFDA, EMBL, ESA, ESO, ESRF, ILL).
Italy, through the major Research Institutions, participates to 30 Preparatory Phase Projects (Call 2007) and 8 Preparatory Phase Projects (Call 2009) acting as international Coordinator of 4 of them (ESFRI ROADMAP).

The Italian Roadmap of Research Infrastructures
The goal of the Roadmap is to provide an overview of the research facilities which are of strategic importance to Italy and which require a significant capital investment.
The Roadmap develops a vision and a strategy for the research infrastructures in key areas, coherently with the needs of the scientific communities, the research organisations and the national strategic plans (PNR and SIRit).

Setting up the Italian Roadmap of Research Infrastructures
Wide consultation of the scientific communities through an open call for proposals opened in December 2007 and closed in February 2008. MIUR web-site created for on-line submission of proposals by Research Institutions, Universities, other bodies.
Received 220 proposals

Selecting the facilities for inclusion in the Roadmap
A Working Group, composed of experts at international level and the chairs of the major research institutions, was set up (Min. Decree, November 2009), with a 6 months mandate of analysing the proposals, providing a survey of the Italian needs and potential, selecting the projects that really respond to the European definition of Infrastructure either single site or distributed, proposing a priority map of the research infrastructures.

Steps towards the publication of the Roadmap
June 2010 - The Minister delivered a formal communication to the ESFRI Chair acknowledging the completion of the evaluation process and announcing the publication of the Roadmap by the end of the year.October 2010 – The final draft of the Roadmap was submitted to the Minister for approval. May 2011 – The Minister formally approved the Roadmap.October 2011 – Re-opening of the web site for update and new submissions

Recommendations
Pursuing the use of Structural Funds to strengthen research and innovation-related infrastructures
EU should consider increasing the proportion of Structural Funds dedicated to the construction of truly international research infrastructures under
simplified common rules for their use

Recommendations
Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia
The next national call for Roadmap update and new projects will address more specifically than in the past the issues of Innovation, both aiming at the suppliers as well as at the users of the RIs
Development of human capital
International and regional integration
Future Perspectives and 2020 Vision
Emphasize the role of RI as an ideal environment
to set up the partnerships needed to address societal challenges, the interactions and the exchange of knowledge to set up a new approach to Research and Innovation that crosses disciplinary boundaries to orient the activities around the challenges to implement national and regional investment efforts, in order to avoid expensive duplication, and to share costs and benefits

Future Perspectives and 2020 Vision
Emphasize and strengthen the link between Joint Programming and Research Infrastructures to increase the knowledge production European RIs are the first effective and well established example of joint programming carried out at international and in several cases global level RIs can play a role of scientific reference for whole fields of research, well beyond the facility service (CERN, ESRF)

Future Perspectives and 2020 Vision
Develop evaluation procedures at community level to assess the achieved performances against the expectations (ex-ante versus ex-post evaluation) The road-mapping exercise of ESFRI and the Member
States is an ex-ante evaluation action that addresses the issues of science and technology by pooling the efforts and increasing the impact of new knowledge on society and economy.
Performance evaluation has to be pursued to facilitate decisions.

Future Perspectives and 2020 Vision
Increase the level of coordination between research center, RIs and Universities
The 3% target in R&D intensity will act as a catalyser forchanges. An increase in the number of new researchersto be trained in different scientific fields and employedin the private and public sectors is expected.
Need to strengthen the link between RIs and Univ.optimizing education programs, favoring the exchangeof knowledge and supporting the mobility.
