Research infrastructures

• Definition:• Facilities, resources, organisational systems and

services that are used by the research communities to conduct research and innovation in their fields

• This includes: • major scientific equipment or sets of instruments; • major scientific equipment or sets of instruments; • knowledge-based resources such as collections, archives or

scientific data; • e-infrastructure, such as data, computing and software

systems, communication networks and systems to promote openness and digital trust

• From FP7 to Horizon 2020

Neelie Kroes:

“let’s make science open”

ICT transforming science: collaboration and sharing knowledge at unprecedented scale and speed

How to do it?

Open Science through…… (open) infrastructures

We mean by Open Science the optimal sharing of knowledge and supporting tools such as publications, research data, software, educational publications, research data, software, educational resources and infrastructures across institutional, disciplinary and national boundaries

Open Science

Open Scientific Content

data, computational resources and software resulting from public funded research should be made openly available and preserved, for re-use in research and education activitiesresearch and education activities

Open Culture

career systems should support and reward those who participate in the culture of sharing. Open science should inspire the young and enable adequate education to benefit from the abundance of technical tools and scientific information

Open Infrastructures

reliable, high-performance and efficient infrastructures

ERA - European Research Area

• Five main priorities• More effective national research systems • Optimal transnational co-operation and competition • An open labour market for researchers • Gender equality and mainstreaming in research • Gender equality and mainstreaming in research • Optimal circulation and transfer of scientific knowledge

including via digital ERA

• Circulation and transfer of scientific knowledge• EC Recommendation to Member States on OA• Research stakeholder organisations to implement open access

for publications and data• Commission will adopt a Communication• Commission will propose a roadmap for e-infrastructure

development to support e-Science through open access to research tools and resources

”A fundamental characteristic of our age is the rising tide of data – global, diverse, valuable and complex. In the realm of science, this is both an the realm of science, this is both an opportunity and a challenge.”

The report presents an overview of the present situation with regard to research data in Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom and offers broad and the United Kingdom and offers broad outlines for a possible action programme for the four countries in realising the envisaged collaborative data infrastructure.

Conclusion A strong commitment to open science will benefit science inside and outside of Europe

Open Science implies technical, institutional, organisational and even cultural changes, many of them mediated by ICT many of them mediated by ICT infrastructure

Horizon 2020 is “our” tool to work together on these issues…

How do we use it from 2014 to 2020 to deploy the e-infrastructure needed?

Thank you for your attention!
