FP7 will continue supporting existing Research Infrastructures
Integrating Activities to promote the coherent use and development of research infrastructures in a given field, implemented through:
A bottom-up approach for proposals open to all fields of scienceTargeted approach with topics defined in cooperation with the FP7 thematic areas
ICT based e-infrastructures in support of scientific research
![Page 14: Information session on Research Infrastructures · October 27, 2006. Welcome Robert-Jan SMITS, Director DG RTD Ulf DAHLSTEN, Director DG INFSO .

FP7 will also increase support to new research infrastructures
Design studies: to support the conceptual design for new facilities or major upgrades, of clear European dimension and interest
through bottom-up calls
Support to the Construction of new infrastructures and major upgrades to existing ones
the list of projects to be supported will be based on the work conducted by the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI roadmap)

What is the targeted approach?
For existing Research Infrastructures
A list of topics for classes of infrastructures to be supported, listed in the work programme
Topics defined in line with the Cooperation Programme
Revisions of topics: list can be amended A sufficient basis of RI’s to be networked
Complementary to other FP7 funding schemes used in the thematic priorities (Collaborative Projects, NoE’s)
![Page 35: Information session on Research Infrastructures · October 27, 2006. Welcome Robert-Jan SMITS, Director DG RTD Ulf DAHLSTEN, Director DG INFSO .

Why a targeted approach?
To help integrating research infrastructures for European R&D needs, defined in a priority setting process
To create synergies and ensure consistency with the Cooperation Programme
Topics are in line with R&D topics under the Cooperation Programme
To stimulate RI actions in specific fields that are currently not well covered under our actions
![Page 36: Information session on Research Infrastructures · October 27, 2006. Welcome Robert-Jan SMITS, Director DG RTD Ulf DAHLSTEN, Director DG INFSO .

How will it work?
Bottom up and targeted approaches will be under the same calls
Same Project type for both approaches:Integrating activities: I3s with Transnational Access/Service, Networking, Joint Research activities
Same evaluation procedures (by independent experts), criteria, forms…

A two-stage process:The preparatory phase: to check the commitment of
the Member States and reach a (draft) agreementbetween Member States and stakeholders for the construction
The implementation phase: the actual construction

Risk-Sharing Finance Facility (RSFF)
An innovative financing instrument, developed jointly by the EIB and the Commission to:
Foster increased investment in research by improving access to EIB finance, thus helping overcome market deficiencyGenerate a leveraging effect so that the volume of extra lending is expected to be a multiple 4 to 6 of the Community and EIB funds allocated to the instrument
