Why Research Infrastructures?
Research Infrastructures in the ERA
 catalyze the knowledge creation process
 facilitate the networking of researchers
 stimulate knowledge flows
 enhance the prospects for downstream impacts
 have important accelerator effects on
local economies
Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia
Characteristics of a PanEU Research Infrastructure
• Offers cutting-edge, essential service to research, on
a non-economic basis, within an ERA outlook
• Awards free open access through international peerreview competition at world level
• Results published/shared in the public domain
• Proprietary and/or training access is marginal
• Clear pan-European added value: e.g. at least 30% of
selected users coming from non-host countries

Research Infrastructures Today
 Today the economic contingency and the globalization
of the challenges may jeopardize the efforts for a new
European renaissance.
 A concentrated effort on common, internationally
shared research infrastructures that will keep producing
new knowledge, could be a cheaper solution than the fully
distributed effort.
 We should therefore elaborate the concept that
investing in large RI is the best strategy in time of crisis.

Research Infrastructures Tomorrow
EUROPE 2020 Vision
Innovation Union commitments
5. By 2015, Member States together with the Commission should have
completed or launched the construction of 60% of the priority European
research infrastructures currently identified by the European Strategy Forum
for Research Infrastructures (ESFRI). The potential for innovation of these
(and ICT and other) infrastructures should be increased. The Member States
are invited to review their Operational Programmes to facilitate the use of
cohesion policy money for this purpose.
Research Infrastructures contribute to implementation
of the Europe 2020 strategy and “Innovation Union”

What is ESFRI?
 ESFRI is a strategic instrument created in 2002 by the Member States
and the European Commission to develop the scientific integration of
Europe and to strengthen its international outreach.
 ESFRI gives national authorities the opportunity to explore common
and integrated activities for the best development and use of Research
Infrastructures of pan-European relevance.
In this way, ESFRI contributes to the implementation of a critical,
strategic part of the Lisbon agenda by integrating national policies and
bringing together national and EU resources to develop the European
Research Area.
The ESFRI delegates are nominated by the Research Ministers of the
Member States and Associated Countries, and include a representative
of the Commission.

Mission of ESFRI
• To support a coherent and strategy-led approach to
policy-making on new and existing pan-European and
global RIs
• To facilitate multilateral initiatives leading to the
better use and development of Research
Infrastructures, at EU and international level
The Roadmap Mandate
• The Competitiveness Council of the EU mandated
ESFRI on November 2004 to develop a strategic
roadmap in the field of RI for Europe
• The ESFRI roadmap identifies new pan-European
Research Infrastructures (RIs) or major up-grades to
existing ones, corresponding to the needs of
European research communities in the next 10 to 20
years, regardless of possible location

Reports
ESFRI Success Stories
• From more than 260 proposals, 50 projects have
been identified through several review stages
between 2006 and 2010
• Projects meets the “grand challenges”
• Update in 2010 in the areas Energy and Biological
and Medical Sciences (3+3 new projects)
• The Roadmap 2010 contains 48 projects in total; 2
have been removed
• 10 of the projects are in the implementation phase
and further 16 are proceeding towards the
implementation phase until end of 2012
