What is ESFRI?

• A European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures

• Launched in April 02• Brings together

representatives of the 25 Member States,7 Associated States, and one representative of the European Commission (EC)

Role of ESFRI(and of its ad-hoc Working

Groups)• To foster an “open method of

coordination” between different countries

• To discuss the long term vision at European level and to support the development of a European RI policy

• To bring initiatives and projects to a point where decisions by ministers are possible

The RoadmapFirst edition 2006

• Mandate from the Council of Ministers,November 2004

• The Roadmap is the result of two years of intensive work

• About 1000 high-level experts were involved, from every MS and AS, from most fields and user communities, giving the end product credibility and quality.

It is the beginning of an ongoing process

• Addressing seven (7) fields of Research and major challenges

• From about original 200 proposals, thirty five (35) projects have been identified through several review stages

• Community produced ideas that will open up new and unexpected areas of knowledge

Some fields should be stimulated for further integration

Global Dimension

• Several of the projects on the Roadmap require a global approach

• ESFRI has entered into a dialogue with the OECD Global Science Forum

• Major players are Australia, China, India, Japan, Russia, South Africa, USA

• Astronomy is an obvious area for global coordination

• Policy Makers• Researchers• Funders• Industry

- European Commission supports the ESFRI process in the 7th Framework Programme.- A growing number of national road maps - Important science community inputs i.e. ASTRONET

We need an sustained dialogue

Critical Issues

• Developing transferable and global financial and legal structures for Research Infrastructures

• Ensuring the human capacity is available and making it attractive for young people

• Interfaces with industry• Part of response to grand challenges

A new legal framework: ERI

The main characteristics of the status of an ERI would be the following:

• Legal personality recognised in all MS;• Reflecting spirit of a truly European venture;• Non-economic research services (on basis of

excellence);• Flexible, to adapt to the needs;• Providing some privileges and exemptions;• Not a Community body, but being governed

by a hierarchy of laws: Community, State(s), Statutes.

Approval of the EC scheduled for July 23

Next Steps

• ESFRI Road Map Up-date 2008:

strategic issues like energy, environement and climate change of growing importance;

e-infrastructures also need more attention • Implementation:

some of the projects are already in place and new momentum will be sought under the French presidency based on Road Map Up-date
