Towards European research infrastructures?
![Page 2: Hervé Pero, DG RTD-B ERA: Research Programmes and Capacity Research Infrastructures Unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062803/568146fa550346895db4321a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Research Infrastructures (incl. e-infrastructures) are:
Facilities, resources, and related services usedby the scientific community for Conducting leading-edge research Knowledge transmission, exchange and preservation
Today Research Infrastructures include Major scientific equipment Scientific collections, archives, structured information ICT-based infrastructures
Excellence of research services generally subject to periodic evaluation by international scientific committee

• RIs not only at the root but also the future of Europe,
• The current situation is forcing Europe to quickly advance on research investments, which is twice virtuous (support to research + industry),
• A new way of managing research is emerging; this is a major challenge, not scientific but mainly political...
![Page 4: Hervé Pero, DG RTD-B ERA: Research Programmes and Capacity Research Infrastructures Unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062803/568146fa550346895db4321a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Europe suffers from fragmentation, • therefore networking and integration is the
way for Europe,• More than half of the ESFRI facilities are of
distributed nature, which gives opportunities for regions, small & less research intensive countries to participate in joint projects,
• Networking spirit is a European strength, but cross country is a challenge to be faced...
![Page 5: Hervé Pero, DG RTD-B ERA: Research Programmes and Capacity Research Infrastructures Unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062803/568146fa550346895db4321a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
RI policy at EU level has no other choice than continuing
reinforcing coordination
• At EU level, • At national and regional,• At “variable geometry”,• At global level…
This explains the importantrole of ESFRI and others…
ESFRI European Strategy Forum
on Research Infrastructures

ESFRI
• Launched in April 02 by Council of Research Ministers
• Representatives of the 27 Member and Associated States + one representative of the European Commission (EC)
• Links with e-IRG
The European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) has been set-up to help developing a true European policy

Scientific competition is today at world level
• Is Europe able to face the challenge?• Are member States
willing to think European?
• Concern! No ESFRI projectimplemented since Dec. 2006
![Page 10: Hervé Pero, DG RTD-B ERA: Research Programmes and Capacity Research Infrastructures Unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062803/568146fa550346895db4321a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Importance of a shared vision of ERA - with global dimension
Five initiatives in 2008a)Researchersb)Joint Programmingc) Research infrastructuresd)International S&T Cooperatione)Knowledge transfer and IP
management

Towards an ‘eco-system’ of Research Infrastructures within ERA
a)Large single-sited facilitiesb)Distributed European Facilitiesc) Regional Partner Facilitiesd)Network of national facilitiese)Linked with universities & schoolsf) Network of industrial suppliers /
users
![Page 12: Hervé Pero, DG RTD-B ERA: Research Programmes and Capacity Research Infrastructures Unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062803/568146fa550346895db4321a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Objectives of the CommunityResearch Infrastructures actions
Optimising the use and balanced development of the best existing research infrastructures in Europe
Helping to create in all fields of S & T new research infrastructures of pan-European interesto e.g. EMSO, ARGO, PRACE
Supporting policy development o e.g. ESFRI, e-IRG, impact studieso international cooperation

• Pan-European interest means provision of unique laboratories or services, …
• … European scientific character should be based on the quality of research services they offer and the contributions they make to leading research efforts
• … also in terms of wider impacts (including "soft factors“)
Will IS-ENES help paving the way towards a pan-
European research infrastructure?
