  1. The Italian Roadmap of Research Infrastructures Prof. Caterina Petrillo Italian Delegate to FP7 Capacities - Infrastructures Directorof the PhysicsDepartment - Universityof Perugia • Reasonsfor a National Plan: la “Roadmap Italiana delle • Infrastrutture di Ricerca di livello Pan-Europeo” • Stepstowards the implementation • Future perspectives and 2020 Vision Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia

  2. EuropeanApproach With the establishment of the European Strategic Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) and with the publication of ESFRI’s roadmap for new and upgraded large-scale research infrastructures, Europe has taken a major step towards the development of a coherent policy for the implementation of Research Infrastructures. Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia

  3. National Level • Member States are primarily responsible for the • development of infrastructures • Construction, maintenance, and modernization of • leading-edge facilities require substantial • investments, often out of reach for individual • Member States • Implementation of the ESFRI projects is a major • challenge which require cooperation Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia

  4. Need for prioritization, development of joint cross border initiatives, synergy with national/regional plans, involvement of all potential stakeholders • Developing the Italian Roadmap of Infrastructures enables national/regional priorities to connect with the ESFRI roadmap and at the same time to place these actions in a wider European context. • Coordination between the ESFRI roadmap and the national plan would be an important component of a coherent RI policy. Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia

  5. Italian Participation to International Research Organisations and Infrastructures Projects • Italy participatesto the Inter-GovernmentalResearchOrganisations, some ofwhich are part of the EIRO-Forumassociation (CERN, EFDA, EMBL, ESA, ESO, ESRF, ILL). • Italy, through the major ResearchInstitutions, participatesto 30 PreparatoryPhaseProjects (Call 2007) and 8 PreparatoryPhaseProjects (Call 2009) actingasinternationalCoordinatorof 4 ofthem (ESFRI ROADMAP). Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia

  6. The Italian Roadmap of Research Infrastructures • The goal of the Roadmap is to provide an overview of the research facilities which are of strategic importance to Italy and which require a significant capital investment. • The Roadmap develops a vision and a strategy for the research infrastructures in key areas, coherently with the needs of the scientific communities, the research organisations and the national strategic plans (PNR and SIRit). Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia

  7. Setting up the Italian Roadmap of Research Infrastructures Wide consultation of the scientific communities through an open call for proposals opened in December 2007 and closed in February 2008. MIUR web-site createdfor on-line submissionofproposalsbyResearchInstitutions, Universities, otherbodies. Received 220 proposals Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia

  8. Selecting the facilities for inclusion in the Roadmap A Working Group, composed of experts at international level and the chairs of the major research institutions, was set up (Min. Decree, November 2009), with a 6 months mandate of analysing the proposals, providing a survey of the Italian needs and potential, selecting the projects that really respond to the European definition of Infrastructure either single site or distributed, proposing a priority map of the research infrastructures.

  9. Steps towards the publication of the Roadmap June 2010 - The Ministerdelivered a formalcommunicationto the ESFRI Chairacknowledging the completionof the evaluationprocess and announcing the publicationof the Roadmapby the end of the year. October 2010– The finaldraftof the Roadmapwassubmittedto the Ministerforapproval. May 2011 – The Ministerformallyapproved the Roadmap. October 2011– Re-openingof the web site for update and newsubmissions Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia

  13. ESFRI-Projects -ENV • on the roadmap 2010 EMSO – European MultidisciplinarySeafloor Observatory will be a Research Infrastructure for long-term permanent monitoring of the ocean margin environment around Europe. It is an essential tool for deep see research. Estimated Costs: Preparation: 80 M€ Construction: ca. 160 M€ Operations: 32 M€/year Decommissioning: to be estimated Coordination:ITALY Start of construction: 2013 Start of operation: 2014 COORDINAMENTO ITALIANO

  14.

  17. Steps towards the implementation of the Roadmap • The Roadmapis part of the National ResearchPlan • deliveredby the Ministryfor the years 2011-2013 • Exploiting synergies with other Ministeries & Funding • Agencies to pool resources • Starting the proceduralitertorequest a special budget • for the implementationofResearchInfrastructures • ExploringaccesstoPublic-Private Funding • Evaluating potential of RSFF and BEI financial tools • Assessing the impact of the ERIC Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia

  18. Recommendations • Pursuing the use of Structural Funds to strengthen • research and innovation-related infrastructures • EU should consider increasing the proportion of Structural Funds dedicated to the construction of truly international research infrastructures under simplified common rules for their use Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia

  19. Recommendations • The next national call for Roadmap update and new projects will address more specifically than in the past the issues of • Innovation, both aiming at the suppliers as well as • at the users of the RIs • Development of human capital • International and regional integration Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia

  20. Future Perspectives and 2020 Vision • Emphasize the role of RI as an ideal environment • to set up the partnerships needed to address societal • challenges, the interactions and the exchange of • knowledge • to set up a new approach to Research and Innovation • that crosses disciplinary boundaries • to orient the activities around the challenges • to implement national and regional investment • efforts, in order to avoid expensive duplication, and to • share costs and benefits IT recommendationsfor RI to EU-CFS Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia

  21. Future Perspectives and 2020 Vision • Emphasize and strengthen the link between Joint Programming and Research Infrastructures to increase the knowledge production • European RIs are the first effective and well • established example of joint programming carried out • at international and in several cases global level • RIs can play a role of scientific reference for whole • fields of research, well beyond the facility service • (CERN, ESRF) IT recommendationsfor RI to EU-CFS Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia

  22. Future Perspectives and 2020 Vision • Develop evaluation procedures at community level to assess the achieved performances against the expectations (ex-ante versus ex-post evaluation) • The road-mapping exercise of ESFRI and the Member States is an ex-ante evaluation action that addresses the issues of science and technology by pooling the efforts and increasing the impact of new knowledge on society and economy. • Performance evaluation has to be pursued to facilitate decisions. IT recommendationsfor RI to EU-CFS Information Day on European Funding Opportunities for Research Infrastructures – Nicosia

  23. Future Perspectives and 2020 Vision • Increase the level of coordination between • research center, RIs and Universities • The 3% target in R&D intensity will act as a catalyser for • changes. An increase in the number of new researchers • to be trained in different scientific fields and employed • in the private and public sectors is expected. • Need to strengthen the link between RIs and Univ. • optimizing education programs, favoring the exchange • of knowledge and supporting the mobility.
