ERA-NET for Research infrastructures Objectives

To step up the cooperation and coordination of national and/or regional programmes/activities towards their mutual opening and implementation of joint activities

To contribute to the development of the European Research Area by improving coherence across Europe of such programmes/activities

To help developing a European policy for research infrastructures Eligible partners are only program owners

(National/region/ministries/governments or Research councils and funding agencies managing research programs)

Motivations for a Nuclear Physics ERANET- NUPNET

In our field the challenge is to merge the national programs to create a stronger and more cohesive research activity which is truly European in scope

Two conditions are required 1- Independent scientific assessment of the field: emerging areas ,key developments, needed instruments ,

recommendations and scientific priorities . This is done by NuPECC and respected

2- Current funding procedures (separate funding agencies reflect separate priorities) has to be given a strategic direction to help to align some decisions on commonly agreed European research goals . This ERA-NET NUPNET proposal aims to meet this challenge

GOALS of NuPNET

Mapping the science priorities (NuPECC) into a funding action plan

Establish procedures and funding for trans-national common activities (variable geometry)Identification of joint activities to be implemented in the framework of NuPNET.Launching of a pilot joint activity Establish a sustainable action beyond this project

15 representatives of NP agencies, NuPECC delegation and EU officers met in PARIS to discuss the opportunity to launch a ERANET proposal called NuPNET All Participants unanimously agreed to built such proposal to be ready for the first FP7 ERANET call in May 2007

INITIATIVE PARIS June 2006

NuPNET Consortium meets for the first time at the kick-off meeting on 27 March 2008 in Paris

NuPNET proposal was successful Budget : 1,3 M€

Start of the Project: 1 March 2008

Objectives

Goal 1 of the NuPNET project- as set by the Consortium -

Acquire a mutual and better understanding of the Funding systems of nuclear physics infrastructures and associated equipments in Europe

that is needed for future collaborations. Intensify the communication between

administrators in Europe to effectively develop infrastructures of a fully European scope.

Future Meetings

1. Next Co-ordination Committee meeting CC6: Date:0ct 12 Place:Frankfurt (NuPECC LRP meeting)

2. Envisaged Governing Council meeting GC2: Date:Jan 15 Place:Budapest

Thank you for your attention.
