2 Overview What are Research Infrastructures? What did the WP fund? What has changed for the WP? Timetable for WP content to be agreed and published

3 Research Infrastructures Research infrastructures are distributed or single-sited facilities, resources and services that are used by the research communities to conduct research and foster innovation. Knowledge-based resources Major scientific equipment e-infrastructures

4 Work Programme Structure WP 4 Calls (total budget: c 558m) Main closing dates: 2 Sept 2014, 14 Jan Developing new world-class Research Infrastructures 2. Integrating and Opening RI of pan-european Interest 3. E-Infrastructures 4. Innovation, Human resources, Policy and International cooperation for research infrastructures

5 WP Call 2: Integrating and Opening National RI of pan-european Interest Integrating activities (IA) to open up key national & regional research infrastructures to all European researchers, to ensure their optimal use and joint development 3 mandatory components: Transnational/Virtual Access; Networking; Joint Research Activities for the improvement of RI services.

6 Call 2: Integrating & opening: Communities Distribution of targeted areas by domain and Summary WP Domain Starting Advanced Number of communities communities areas Bio Medical Sciences Energy Environment ICT Material and Analytical Facilities Physics Social Sciences and Humanities Total Research Infrastructures (RTD) TOTAL Single grant CALL 2 - H2020-INFRAIA-2014/ Up to 5 or up to 10 M Deadline: 2 September 2014

7 WP Call 2: Integrating & opening: Topics addressed by humanities researchers Social Sciences and Humanities - Starting Communities Research infrastructures for studying the role of intangible investment for economic growth and for the study of cultural, historical and institutional innovation processes. This activity aims at bringing together research infrastructures in order to sustain and further develop the empirical analytical framework that includes intangible capital in sources-of-economic-growth analysis. It also aims at bringing together research infrastructures for the study of cultural, historical, and institutional innovation processes. Social Sciences and Humanities - Advanced Communities Contemporary European history: European Holocaust research infrastructure. This activity aims at building upon existing research infrastructures and expanding them to include new material and new techniques in order to open distributed access of researchers to scattered material. European research infrastructures for restoration and conservation of cultural heritage. This activity aims at bringing together facilities, located in research centres, universities and important culture institutions of different countries, for advanced diagnostics as well as the restoration and conservation of cultural heritage overcoming fragmentation, rationalising resources and advancing the international role of European cultural heritage research.

8 Integrating Activity Call Open to researchers involved in RI s across all disciplines Predefined topics for advanced communities No predefined topics for starting communities 2 stage application process for starting communities Likely to be very competitive, only high quality proposals will be funded
