Why research at Why research at European level?European level?
• Pooling and leveraging resourcesResources are pooled to achieve critical massLeverage effect on private investments
• Fostering human capacity and excellence in S&TStimulate training and mobility of researchersImprove S&T capabilities
• Better integration of European R&DCreate scientific base for pan-European challengesEncourage coordination of national policies
5 RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURES
FPs: strong impact on the FPs: strong impact on the integration of the ERAintegration of the ERA
• Better coordination of national research efforts (ERA-NET) and counter-action to fragmentation of ERA, e.g. average number of MS per project: 3 (FP2) ► 6.7 (FP6)
• Concentration of research efforts through larger projects with critical mass, e.g. average number of participants per project: 4.7 (FP2) ► 14 (FP6)
• ERA more attractive to researchers worldwide, e.g. number of participating third countries: 30 (FP2) ► 140 (FP5)

10 RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURES
Definition of Definition of Research InfrastructuresResearch Infrastructures
"Facilities", "resources" and related "services" that are needed by the scientific community for the development of leading-edge research in the most efficient manner at EU level, as well as for knowledge transmission, knowledge exchanges and knowledge preservation;
covers major equipments, collections, archives and structured information, enabling ICT-based infrastructures, and any other entity of a unique nature used for research.
11 RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURES
Research Infrastructures (RIs)Research Infrastructures (RIs)and “capacity building”and “capacity building”
Multiple impacts:• (1) Knowledge generation: enabling to look
beyond the frontiers of science with inter-disciplinary teams; attracting scientists…
• (2) Industrial innovation: creating direct and indirect effects (supply of high-tech instruments, spin offs).
• (3) Societal impacts: contribution to knowledge society (cf. the WWW), incl. secure data storage,
• (4) Independence and governance: securing European autonomy and knowledge base.

Continuation of the current “bottom-up” actions optimizing the use and performance of existing
research infrastructures Supporting new ideas through design studies
Reinforcement of a «strategic» approach for Supporting emergence of future infrastructures
of pan-European interest and developing a critical mass of specific existing
ones corresponding to strategic needs

• SF and public research funds (in particular FP7) are increasingly complementary at the political, scope and calendar
level, but cannot be substituted
• The challenge: to pool and organize financial ressources from different origins

Reminder of the EC CriteriaReminder of the EC Criteria (in addition to relevance to the programme
objectives)
Excellence: relevance at international level; capacity to
offer a top-level service to scientists; Impacts: added value of EU support; RI impact on
ERA as well as on EU sustainable development;
Implementation: maturity; life-cycle costs evaluated; quality
of life-cycle and systems’ management; stakeholders’ commitment
