EU-SOLARIS OVERVIEW
3
EU-SOLARIS Vision EU-SOLARIS aims to become a unique distributed research
infrastructure (RI) for STE;
EU-SOLARIS aims to create a new legal entity to explore and implement new and improved rules and procedures for RI for STE technology, in order to optimise RI development and RTD coordination;
EU-SOLARIS is expected to be the first of its kind, where industrial needs and private funding will play a significant role.
4
Providing the most complete, quality scientific infrastructure portfolio at international level and facilitating researchers´ access to highly specialized research infrastructure through a single access point;
Linking the scientific communities, Industry and universities involved in the STE sector;
Increase the efficiency of the economic and human resources required throughout the European research context;
Provide efficient resource management to complement research and to avoid unnecessary technological duplication and repetition;
Maintaining Europe at the forefront of STE technology development.

Main Challenges (2/2)
9
Selecting and implementing a suitable governance model:
Ensuring both independance to the sites involved and an integrated and effective management of the infrastructure as a whole;
Involving relevant National/Regional Governments, funding organisations and relevant international organisations;
Securing close participation of the industrial sector.
Achieving the EU-SOLARIS vision:
To establish EU-SOLARIS as the reference European Research Infrastructure in STE;
To support excellence in scientific and technological development.

WP4: EU-SOLARIS and the Industry
Enhance the faster advance of the technology:
Find effective relationships and collaboration models; Understand industry needs and existing barriers; Secure a stable financial environment; Fair exploitation of joint research results respecting IP agreements.
In which way Industry concretely contributes:
By answering to regular questionnaires and by participating in Delphi panels;
By giving feedback on the new formulas elaborated by the EU-SOLARIS team;
By cooperating in defining best practices for RI mutual share.
16
EU-SOLARIS benefits for the Industry
Enhance the faster advance of the technology:
Overcome potential bottlenecks with the research community; Reach a legal consensus for Industry to benefit from existing RI; Align the EU-SOLARIS needs with the Industry needs; Establish win-win partnerships between Industry and research
centres resulting in socio-economic benefits; Understand the Industry-oriented time/budget approach; Spin-offs and jobs creation to reboost the economy.
The EU-SOLARIS Project is co-funded by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme. Grant Agreement no. 312833
