Definition:
EUROPEAN COMMISSION - Research DG - October 2006FP7 /5
Research Infrastructures
Optimise the use and development of the best existing research infrastructures in Europe
Help to create new infrastructuresof pan-European interest
Objectives:
EUROPEAN COMMISSION - Research DG - October 2006FP7 /6
Activities:
Support for: Existing research infrastructures
• For optimising the access to and the utilisation and performance of such infrastructures
Support for: New research infrastructures
• (incl. major upgrades) Through the implementation of a ‘strategic’ approach
Research Infrastructures
EUROPEAN COMMISSION - Research DG - October 2006FP7 /7
Support to existing research infrastructures
Generic (bottom-up) basis and in close co-operationwith the thematic areas (focussed): Integrating activities Research e-infrastructure (GEANT, GRIDs)
Call for proposals; selection through a peer review process
Research Infrastructures
EUROPEAN COMMISSION - Research DG - October 2006FP7 /8
Support to new research infrastructures
Design studies Bottom-up approach Exploratory awards and feasibility studies for new infrastructures
Construction of new infrastructures and major updatesof existing ones Based ESFRI roadmap
Research Infrastructures
EUROPEAN COMMISSION - Research DG - October 2006FP7 /9
A two-stage process:
1. The preparatory phase
Restricted calls targeting priority projects (ESFRI roadmap)
• For construction plans, legal organisation, management structure
• Deliverable: consortium agreement for construction
2. Implementation phase (the actual construction)
Following successful first phase
Various financial engineering instruments
• e.g. national funds, Structural Funds, EIB, RSFF, FP7
The operational mechanism to support construction in FP7

defined actions to support regional economic development
Synergies with other related EU policies
Regions of Knowledge
EUROPEAN COMMISSION - Research DG - October 2006FP7 /15
FP7 and the Structural Funds: more synergies (1)
FP 7 has a strong regional dimension, under “Capacities” Regions of Knowledge Unlocking Research Potential Research infrastructures
Regions of Knowledge
EUROPEAN COMMISSION - Research DG - October 2006FP7 /16
FP7 / Structural Funds: more synergies (2)
Structural Funds will reinforce R&D investment R&D, innovation and entrepreneurship as the first priority in
Convergence regions Innovation and the knowledge economy as the first priority for the
competitiveness and growth objective Earmarking: at least 60% of funds for Lisbon priorities
Complementary funding where possible Certainly no double funding…
