2 What is ESFRI? An informal body composed by representatives of Member States, Associated Countries and the EC on issues related to research infrastructures. A platform giving national authorities the opportunity to be informed of and to explore (i.e. without a priori commitments) international and national initiatives of European significance. An incubator of new RIs, where Member States structure their priorities and negotiate 2

3 ESFRI mandate ESFRI was established in 2002 with a mandate from the EU Council (2001) to: support a coherent and strategy-led approach to policy-making on research infrastructures in Europe facilitate multilateral initiatives leading to the better use and development of research infrastructures establish a European Roadmap for research infrastructures (new and major upgrades, pan-european interest) for the coming years, stimulate the implementation of these facilities, and update the Roadmap as the need arises (Council 2004 & 2007); ensure the follow-up of implementation of already on-going ESFRI projects after a comprehensive assessment, as well as the prioritisation of the infrastructure projects listed in the ESFRI Roadmap (Council 2012). 3

7 ESFRI strategic role in practice ESFRI Roadmap facilitates: Synchronization of commitments at national level Access to structural funds (at a sub-national level) and other sources of funding (eg. EIB) Analytical work (ad hoc working groups) responding to Council requests: investments in e-infrastructures, long-term sustainability action plan, RI prioritisation own initiatives: socio-economic impact of RIs, links with industry and innovation (EIC), evolution of neutron sources European Research Area implementation of Priority 2B links of European RIs with global partners 8
