Roadmap 2010

Deputy-Chair of ESFRI

2. Importance of Research Infrastructures
Broad consensus that future competitiveness in a globalising knowledge economy depends on research capability
Research capability requires
Investment in higher education and research institutions
Access to first class research infrastructures
Coordination on a European (and increasingly a global) scale is required because
Limited investment funds available
Increasing level of infrastructure investments needed to remain at the cutting edge
Advanced data sharing and exploitation for science and innovation
RIs are intellectual hubs, not (just) big machines or big datasets
Open access is the reference basis

3. Why a new ESFRI Roadmap ?
ESFRI was set up by the EU Council of Research Ministers in 2002
It brings together representatives of Ministers of the 28 Member States, 10 Associated States, and of the European Commission
Supports a coherent and strategy-led approach to policy making on Research Infrastructures
Mandate to develop a Roadmap and prioritise research infrastructures
Update mandate after the Informal Competitiveness Council in Milano (July 2014) to complete a new Roadmap for 2016 with new criteria of selection and format
The New Roadmap will be shorter (25 Projects) and contain projects at the “decision stage”

The “10-years rule”
Green: implemented, Red: 10-years expire on 2015, Black: stay on

5. The new ESFRI Roadmap 2016
Rationale The ESFRI strategy document with extended scope and analysis: a) the landscape of RIs in Europe and elsewhere + ESFRI impact b) the gaps in the European RI ecosystem c) the new list of pan-European RI projects d) the strategy of optimization of the whole RI system, the synergy with existing RIs, the sustainability and the increase of return of investment, the continuous upgrade, and the end of life perspectives e) the global research infrastructure opportunities (GSO, G8+5)

7. Landscape Analysis and
ESFRI impact
Physics RIs represent
> 50% investment cost of the ESFRI Roadmap 2010
Physics+Energy+HPC >75% cost

8. Competitiveness of Europe: the example of physics in the economy

9. Impact of Physics on Economy
and Competitiveness
-Italy 7.4% GDP from Physics
-UK 8.5%
-Italy 6.1% employment
-UK 4% employment
GVA per worker in physics
Italy €78100 / €64000 average
UK £70000 / £36000 average
Since 2008 physics-based
productivity +2.5% vs
-1.5% all-economy productivity

10. Rules for new Roadmap
Approximately only 25 Decision Stage Projects on the new Roadmap
Projects that have been on the roadmap and not implemented will automatically roll off after 10 years
Any project that wants to be considered again after 10 years must reapply, and compete with the new ones
Approximately 16 projects will remain on the Roadmap (entered in 2008 and 2010) so there will be room for 8-10 NEW projects
Assessment of new projects will be by scientific peer review, assessment matrix, and indicators of pan-European relevance
Entry level projects will be at a more mature level (conceptual design and feasibility done) to become implemented within the 10-year term
Every 2-3 years audit of the project by ESFRI Implementation WG

11. Proposing projects for new roadmap
The proposal process will be on-line (reserved to National Delegations and EIRO forum). Key questions will include:
What is the value for science? for innovation?
Cost and Schedule?
What is the strategy for siting? What is the governance model? What is the data management plan?
How it is planned to be financed?
Does it replace existing facilities?
Is the project included on one or more national roadmaps?
What is the intended user community? Will it be open access?
What preparatory work has been done?
Design Studies? Business case? Investment plan?
Is it intended to apply for H2020 preparatory phase?

12. New Projects Submission and Selection
Presentation to ESFRI EB
National Delgations collect and present on behalf of MS(s) and AS (S)
or EIROFORUM presents
SWG starts analysis
ESFRI asks EB to perform Pre-screening and to report to Forum
(eliminate uneligible projects) and attributes to SWGs
Science
Scientific Analysis:
Uniqueness
Increase of capacity
Global Competitiveness
ALL PROJECTS undergo independent PEER REVIEW

14. Assessment of maturity by IG
1. ESFRI Delegation of EIRO Forum Member completes online submission form ( )
2. two independent Experts assess proposal and Rapporteur delivers report to IG and SWG ( )
3. IG formulates drafts recommendation ( )
4. IG Member participates in (on site) hearing with projects and/or relevant (governmental) stakeholders
( )
5. IG formulates final recommendation on project and offers it via Executive Board for decision to Plenary Forum ( )

16. ESFRI synergy with Horizon 2020 Developing new world-class Research Infrastructures
Concept & Preparatory Phases
INFRADEV 1 Support conceptual design of new research infrastructures, which are of a clear European dimension and interest: bottom-up proposals for new infrastructures
INFRADEV 2 Support preparatory & pre-implementation phases of ESFRI infrastructures: Linked to prioritisation of ESFRI infrastructures
Implementation & Operation Phases
INFRADEV 3 Individual ESFRI projects with established legal structure and governance such as ERIC. First call targets prioritised ESFRI projects
INFRADEV 4 Thematic clusters of ESFRI and other World Class Research Infrastructures OWCRIs: joint activities and implementation of common solutions for RI in specific domain: Targets ESFRI RIs together with OWCRI, Integrating Activities, e-infrastructures

17. Horizon 2020 – Calls Integrating and opening RI of European interest
INFRAIA 1 To open up key national and regional research infrastructures to all European researchers and to ensure their optimal use and joint development:
Networking;
Transnational / Virtual Access;
Joint Research Activities for the improvement of RI services
An emphasis on management efficiency, innovation capacity (technology transfer, participation of SMEs, instrumentation development), international dimension, management of generated data…
Are expected to engage with relevant ESFRI projects
