Research Infrastructures in FP7Research Infrastructures in FP7

Term refers to “facilities”, “resources” or “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


Research Infrastructures in FP7Research Infrastructures in FP7

Objectives:

To optimise the use, development and integration of the best research infrastructures existing in Europe

To help create new research infrastructures of pan- European interest (or major upgrades of existing ones)


Activities in FP7Activities in FP7

For existing research infrastructures

- Transnational Access

- Integrating Activities

- ICT based e-infrastructures

For new research infrastructures (incl. major upgrades)

- Design Studies

- Construction of New Infrastructures


Existing research infrastructures in Existing research infrastructures in FP7FP7

Objective: To optimise their use, development and integration

- Transnational Access: to support new opportunities for research teams to obtain access to the best research infrastructures

- Integrating Activities: to promote the coherent use and development of research infrastructures in a given field. Integrating Activities will combine “networking activities”, “joint research activities” and “transnational access activities”

- ICT based e-infrastructures: to foster development of high-capacity and high-performance communication (GÉANT) and grid infrastructures and reinforcing European computing capabilities

Implementation : bottom-up calls for proposals open to all fields ofscience + targeted calls in close cooperation thematic areas in FP7


New research infrastructures in New research infrastructures in FP7FP7

Objective: To help create new research infrastructures of pan-European interest (or major upgrades of existing ones)

- Design studies: to support feasibility studies for new infrastructures through a “bottom approach” of calls for proposals

- Construction of new infrastructures (incl. major upgrades): to promote the creation of new infrastructures through a strategic approach based on the work conducted by ESFRI* on the development of a European roadmap fro new research infrastructures

* ESFRI – European Strategy Forum for Research Infrastructures


New research infrastructures in New research infrastructures in FP7FP7

Construction via a two-stage process:

The preparatory phase

- restricted calls targeting priority projects (based on the work of ESFRI)

to support finalisation of construction plans, legal organisation, financial engineering, management aspects

The construction phase

- developed following the satisfactory implementation of the preparatory phase

- “case by case” approach (e.g. use of Article 171)
