Research in Europeinfo @ http://cordis.europa.eu.int/home.html

• Created European Research Area (2000) to counteract deficits in European research– insufficient funding, – lack of an environment to stimulate research

and exploit results– the fragmented nature of activities and the

dispersal of resources

Framework Programmes

• 1957: EURATOM treaty; Joint Research Centre set up• 1983: ESPRIT programme• 1984: First Framework Programme (1984-1987),

followed by 4 successive Framework Programmes (up to 2002)

• 1987: “European Single Act” - science becomes a Community responsibility;

• Second Framework Programme (1987-1991)• 1993: Treaty on European Union; role of RTD in the EU

enlarged• 2001: Proposal for the Sixth Framework Programme • 2002-2006: FP6

FP6 budget = 5% of Europes total public spending on civil research

More and more aiming at Research of ‚real economic and social value‘.

Current N5/GWA net: objectives & contents

From Overall description and fundamental objectives of the I3 from ILIAS webpage “Gravitational Wave Antenna” (N5/GWA)The objective of this network is to increase the level of coordination in the field of gravitational wave research. It aims at linking the theoreticians and the groups working on the experimental detection using the two large European interferometers and the three resonant cryogenic detectors.“

• Three working groups:• WG1: Detectors commissioning and characterization• WG2: Joint operation of detectors and network data analysis• WG3: An European strategy for future detectors

• Beside working group activities: Have bi-annual meetings involving the responsibles of the main projects and research poles (3 so far) Organize an annual general meeting open to all participants (Orsay in 2004, Palma de Mallorca in 2005)

• “Increase the level of European coordination in the field”• “Help the enhancement of the performance of existing detectors”• “Prepare the future of this discipline in Europe”• “Open existing facilities to more people from more countries”• “Help the structuring of a European GW research community”

Gravitational Wave Antenna (GWA) Expected outcomeANNEX 1 – Description of Work for ILIAS - Contract number: RII3-CT-2004-506222

• Chairmen: Hartmut Grote, Giovanni LosurdoThe results of Working Group 1 are expected to allow establishing a coordinated collaboration among the Anglo-German team working at the commissioning of GEO and the French-Italian team working at the commissioning of the Virgo detector. This collaboration will speed up the commissioning of the detectors and will allow testing similar characterization algorithms on the two detectors. Apart from the annual reports, the two teams will provide recommendations for short and long term improvements based on the detector commissioning results.

• Chairmen: Gianluca Guidi and Ik Siong Heng (advised by the former chairmen Giovanni Prodi and Sathyaprakash)The prospects of setting relevant astrophysical results (based on signal detection or upper limits) rely on the achieved degree of coordination of the community, given that the operation of many detectors as a network is required. Working Group 2 is expected to establish the necessary coordination among the groups involved in the operating detectors in order to perform joint observations and the related data analysis. Recommendations for the planning of joint observations and the technical aspects involved in the data exchange and analysis will be provided. In addition, the Working Group 2 will provide comparative studies on the achieved results on the observation and on the relevance of the participating detectors.

• Chairmen: Michele Punturo, Harald LückWorking Group 3 is focused on producing a plan setting up priorities and objectives for the existing and future detectors and defining a coherent global strategy around which the European gravitational waves community could unite and on pulling together their efforts, expertise and capabilities towards a common objective.

• The development of a European research community for gravitational waves is also expected to contribute to establishing more balanced and productive collaborations with non European communities ( USA , Japan ).

The main objectives of the LISA Proposal

LISA

The European LISA research groups (low frequency GW community) are planning to prepare proposals for one or more of the following FP7 projects:

A Research Training Network (for educating young researchers in low frequency data analysis)

A Virtual Research Institute to integrate the European researchers interested in all aspects of low-frequency gravitational wave science, including, but not limited to, relativity, astrophysics, cosmology and data analysis.

Possible participation in ILIAS NEXT with the intention of networking research groups in Europe interested in low-frequency gravitational waves.

Main objectives of the network

• to continue the exchange of information on subjects of common interests such as:

- operation and commissioning of existing detectors- network data analysis

• to develop collaboration between the experimentalists and the theorists involved in gravitational wave related research on subjects such as:

- science case for future detectors- properties of gravitational wave sources

• to develop the exchange of information with other fields of astronomy (gamma-rays, high energy cosmic rays and neutrino astronomy),

• to support the access of more people from more countries to the existing infrastructures by means of a visitor program

Marie Curie ActionsHuman resources and mobility

• Recent suggestions to propose a participation in MCA (Marie Curie Research Training Networks (RTN)) to educate PhD students in GW research.

• How to apply? (http://www.cordis.lu/mariecurie-actions/rtn/apply.htm)

• Proposals must be presented by a minimum of three mutually-independent legal entities (organisations or individuals) established in at least three Member States or Associated States of which two must be Member or Associated candidate countries. However, it is anticipated that a network will normally consist of a larger number of participants.

Marie Curie Research Training Networks (RTN)

• These Networks provide the means for research teams of recognised international stature to link up, in the context of a well-defined collaborative research project, in order to formulate and implement a structured training programme for researchers in a particular field of research. Networks will provide a cohesive, but flexible framework for the training and professional development of researchers, especially in the early stages of their research career. Networks also aim to achieve a critical mass of qualified researchers, especially in areas that are highly-specialised and/or fragmented; and to contribute to overcoming institutional and disciplinary boundaries, notably through the promotion of multidisciplinary research. They will also provide a straightforward and effective means to involve the less-favoured regions of the EU and Associated Candidate Countries in internationally recognised European research co-operation.
