Polish Roadmap for Research Infrastructures Polish Roadmap for Research Infrastructures Preface Research plays a key role in the development of soci- ety and civilization. Through research we are able to ef- fectively address new challenges such as quality of life, civilization diseases, demographic changes, sustainable development and environmental protection, as well as energy security. Without top-level research it is impos- sible not only to successfully face the above mentioned and other challenges but also to understand the dy- Wojciech Murdzek namically changing world. Minister of Science and Higher Education There are two elements of vital importance for research excellence – human capital and state-of-the-art re- search infrastructures. The latter is doubly important owing to its essential role in training future scientific and technical staff. Major strategic research infrastruc- tures attract world-class scientists and innovative com- panies which enables economic growth as well as en- hance social capital. Excellent laboratories applying the highest standards of research and education are there- fore necessary for each country to develop. The Polish Roadmap for Research Infrastructures is a tool created to facilitate the development of these laboratories. It comprises seventy of the most ambitious research infrastructure projects of great socio-econom- ic significance, chosen through a transparent process carried out in accordance with international standards. The Roadmap is to become the basis for the investment policy of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education in the coming years, however it is worth underlining that placing a research infrastructure project on the Roadmap does not automatically imply the financial commitment of the Ministry. The decision concern- ing the involvement of public funds within the current funding streams will be made on a case-by-case basis after a thorough analysis of the maturity level of the project, as well as of expected benefits for the econom- ic and scientific communities. When supporting devel- opment of science, we have to ensure that public funds are spent properly. 1 Contents: 4 Selection process of research 38 Earth & environmental infrastructures included in the sciences Polish Roadmap for Research 40 ACTRIS – Aerosols Clouds and Trace Gases Infrastructures Research Infrastructure 42 EPOS – European Plate Observing System 6 Selection process of the 44 EURO-ARGO – Global Ocean Observation System research infrastructures 46 Integrated Carbon Observation System – ICOS included in the Polish PL Roadmap for Research 48 The Polish Multidisciplinary Laboratory for Infrastructures – the Advisory Polar Research (PolarPOL) Panel’s perspective 50 Medical, biological & agricultural sciences 8 Technical sciences 52 Biological and Biomedical Imaging & energy Infrastructure – Bio-Imaging Poland (BIPol) 10 Centre of Advanced Materials and 54 Biomedical Multiscale Imaging Centre for Manufacturing Process Engineering Translational Research (MultIMA) (CZMIPW) 56 Centre for Advanced Organic Synthesis and 12 Centre of Hybrid Additive Technologies, Non- Transformative Materials Destructive Testing and Smart Materials – Experimental Factory NDTAM 58 Centre for Innovative and Sustainable Horticultural Technologies 14 Centre of Pro-Ecological Energy Technologies (CePTE) 60 Centre for New Pharmacotherapies of the Central Nervous System Diseases – Cephares 16 Clean Coal Technologies Centre (CCTW+) 62 Centre for the Development of Therapies for 18 EUHTER Civilization and Age-Related Diseases 20 High-Pressure Hydrogen Research Station 64 Cryo-Imaging Centre 22 Innovation Support Centre for Materials 66 ELIXIR.PL Engineering and Nanotechnology: Hybrid Nanomaterials for Special Applications 68 European Centre for Bioinformatics and Genomics (ECBG) 24 National Centre for Geothermal Energy and Heat Pumps 70 National Biodiversity Collection of Recent and Fossil Organisms at W.
