  1. WDS Status • Propose to create 6 sub-collaborations • Steering Groups being proposed (for those without one)

  2. Integrating European Research Structuring the ERA Strengthening the ERA Research and Innovation Human resources & mobility Science and Society Research infrastructures CARE BENE HIPPI EC FP6 Design Studies FP6 3blocks of activities: Transnational Access Design Studies Integrating Activities Accompanying Measures Communication Network Development Construction of New Infrastructure

  3. FP6 Design Studies • HIPPI – JRA: improving existing infrastructure Design Studies: • FS and TPW on new infrastructures • Clear European dimension and interest • Must “systematically explore EIB and Structural Funds” • Infrastructure can be outside EU, if EU participates • Upgrade to existing infrastructure, if replaces new

  4. FP6 Design Studies Feasibility Studies: “will aim at laying the conceptual foundations of a potential new or enhanced infrastructure. This could consist in the basic feasibility study of a specific new facility or in exploring a new fundamental technology or technique underpinning a whole new concept. Alternatively, a feasibility study could cover the detailed engineering design of a proposed infrastructure, in particular in relation to its most technologically advanced aspects (i.e. excluding the detailed design of standard elements of the new infrastructure).“ Technical Preparatory Work: “will cover the development and testing of components, subsystems, materials or techniques (including dedicated software) that are critical for the future development of a new or enhanced infrastructure. Support will however not be provided for preparatory work based on existing or proven techniques or technologies, nor when it aims at reproducing available components or materials.” NB Contributions to capital investments are excluded

  5. FP6 Design Studies Funding: • In first call: 70M€ • EC contribution/DS: 1-10M€ • Maximum EC contribution: 50% • Total cost has to be justified in proposal • Duration of DS: 24 to 48 months Timescale: Call for proposals: 11th November Submission deadline: 4th March 2004, 5pm Evaluation/interviews: June 2004 Results: July 2004 Contract negotiations end: September 2004 DS start: end 2004/start 2005

  8. Feedback from Brussels Proposal preparation Review of plans: 18th/19th December Final review of proposal 18th February Timescales Form Steering Group: Today Form Work Package teams: Today Work Package teams formed: 28th November 2003 1st plans/WP: 11th December 2003 Firmed up plans, outline of: 24th December 2003 proposal, 1st cost and schedule Start writing final version: 15th January 2004 Final editing starts: 12th February 2004 Finish proposal: 19th February 2004 Submit proposal: 4th March 2004, 5pm!

  9. Funding • Assume DS will be 4 years  end 2008 • Can get 10M€ from EC • Must find at least the same from existing sources • Need to check FP6 rules, e.g. MICE beam and inf? • “Third party” funding? • Matching funding/Work Package or total? • Need to check what “capital investments” are • Within these limits, there are no limits!

  10. Next Steps Get approval of plans from EMCOG - RE Get approval from ESGARD - RE Contact with Brussels - RE Determine requirements at RAL - PRN/RE Form Steering Groups - RE et al Form teams - SGs Develop plans for proposal - All All must start now!
