Role of ESFRI

• To foster an open method of coordination
  between different countries
• stimulation role to discuss the long term vision
  at European level and to support the development
  of a European RI policy
• incubation role to bring projects to a point
  where decisions by ministers are possible

4
The Roadmap

• 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 giving the end product credibility
  and quality.
• 200 projects have been evaluated
• It is the beginning of an ongoing process

5
The Roadmap (2)

• Addressing seven (7) fields of Research and major
  challenges
• Thirty Five (35) projects identified
• Research community produced ideas that will open
  up new and unexpected areas of knowledge
• Some fields should be stimulated for further
  integration

Social Science and Humanities
6 Projects
CLARIN
CESSDA
EROHS
ESS
SHARE
DARIAH
7
Social Science and Humanities

• CESSDA (Council of European Social Science Data
  Archives) is a distributed RI provides access to
  data (21 countries in Europe)
• CLARIN (Common Language Resources and Technology
  Infrastructure) is to make language resources
  available (grid semantic web technology
• DARIAH (Digital Research Infrastructure for Arts
  and Humanities) based on existing network, open
  access to cultural heritage of Europe
• EROHS (European Resource Observatory for the
  Humanities and the Social Sciences) will operate
  both as a central and distrubuted facility
  integration of data, technologies and policies
• ESS (The European Social Survey) /27 European
  countries) produce data for researchers
• SHARE (Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirementin
  Europe) provides data for researhers

Environmental Sciences

1. AURORA BOREALIS (Research icebreaker) for deep
   drilling capability for use in extreme conditions
   in high latitude oceans
2. EMSO (European multidisciplinary seafloor
   obervation), a continuous monitoring system for
   environment and security
3. EUFAR , a Heavy-Payload fleet of airborne
   research in Environmental and Geo-Sciences
4. EURO-ARGO, a worlds wide in situ global ocean
   observing system based on autonomous profiling
   floats
5. IAGOS-ERI uses, as platforms, commercial
   passenger airgrafts and operate as a RI for
   regular observations of atmospheric composition
6. ICOS (Integrated Carbon Observation System),
   observational data of the greenhouse balance of
   Europe
7. LIFE WATCH, biodiversity RI brings together
   hardware, software and governance structures

Energy

• HIPER, a large scale laser system technology
  (lase-driven fusion)
• IFMIF (International Fusion Materials Irradiation
  Facility) is a accelerator- based very high flux
  neutron source utilising the deutron
  lithium-stripping reaction
• Jules Horowitz Reactor, a new reactor to study
  materials and fuel behaviour under irradiation
  (tests for nuclear power plants)

Critical Issues

• Developing transferable financial and legal
  structures for pan-European Research
  Infrastructures
• Ensuring the human capacity is available and
  making it easier for researchers to move from one
  project to another
• Interfaces with Technology Platforms
• Collaboration with ERC

20
More is to come

• Implementation of the Roadmap
• some of the projects will be in place already
  next year
• Strengthening the European Research Area
• Research Infrastructures as majorcornerstones
• Continuation of the ESFRI work
• ESFRI encourages constructive debate
