Page 3 of 62 HORIZON 2020 – WORK PROGRAMME 2014-2015 European research infrastructures (including e-Infrastructures) Introduction Research infrastructures are facilities, resources and services that are used by the research communities to conduct research and foster innovation in their fields. Where relevant, they may be used beyond research, e.g. for education or public services. They include: major scientific equipment (or sets of instruments); knowledge-based resources such as collections, archives or scientific data; e-infrastructures, such as data and computing systems and communication networks; and any other infrastructure of a unique nature essential to achieve excellence in research and innovation. Such infrastructures may be 'single-sited', ‘virtual’ or 'distributed'. Research infrastructures play an increasing role in the advancement of knowledge and technology and their exploitation. By offering high quality research services to users from different countries, by attracting young people to science and by networking facilities, research infrastructures help structuring the scientific community and play a key role in the construction of an efficient research and innovation environment. Because of their ability to assemble a ‘critical mass’ of people, knowledge and investment, they contribute to national, regional and European economic development. Research infrastructures are also key in helping Europe lead a global movement towards open, interconnected, data-driven and computer-intensive science and engineering. e-Infrastructures will make every European researcher digital, increasing creativity and efficiency of research and bridging the divide between developed and less developed regions. Just as public infrastructures form the substrate of civil society, research infrastructures are the backbone of scientific communities. Research infrastructures have been a well-established concept in the physical sciences for a long time. More recently, the concept of openly accessible infrastructures has spread into all disciplines of science, including life, environmental, social sciences and the humanities. This spread has happened not least under the influence of interdisciplinary users and the increasing importance of e-Science. Research infrastructures therefore provide research opportunities and services to researchers in many areas also addressed by other Parts of Horizon 2020, in particular the Parts "Societal Challenges", "Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies" (LEIT), and the other parts of “Excellent Science”: "Future and Emerging Technologies", “Marie Skłodowska- Curie” and “European Research Council” actions. This is also reflected in the close links between several of the topics of Research Infrastructures and certain Focus Areas. Furthermore production-level e-infrastructures are able to serve the computing and data needs of any project in the framework programme fostering economies of scale in the use of ICT systems by projects supported by Horizon 2020. Activities funded under this Part foster the innovation potential of research infrastructures, for example by reinforcing partnerships with industry, transfer of knowledge and other dissemination activities, use of research infrastructures by industrial researchers, and involvement of industrial associations in consortia or in advisory bodies. Research Infrastructure activities also contribute to widening participation to the programme by supporting the development of Regional Partner Facilities in ESFRI projects and integrating activities. The use of European Structural and Investment Funds to build capacities and infrastructures at national and regional level in line with the relevant smart specialisation strategy is encouraged (further information can be found in section “Specific features for Research Infrastructures”). The Research Infrastructures Work Programme foresees actions to provide support services for the implementation of the Open Research Data Pilot. Further information on the Open Research Data Pilot

  • Research and Innovation Capabilities : Insights on India's Plunge Into Nanotechnology
    Research and Innovation Capabilities : Insights on India’s plunge into Nanotechnology Anand, Manish The Energy and Resources Institute, India 1. Introduction Nanotechnology is expected to be one of the main drivers of future industries‟ development and economic growth (see, for instance, Huang et al., 2004; Hullmann, 2007; Kostoff et al., 2007; Meyer et al., 2008; Salerno et al., 2008 ; Roco et al., 2010). Nanotechnology‟s significant potential for technological change and for current and future world markets becomes apparent when looking at its market size and its growth potential. Estimates by market research and industry analysis show that the market for the nanotechnology was 11.67 billion US$ in 2009 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 17.5% during 2016-2022 (BCC, 2010; RNCOS, 2015). The promise of the socio-economic benefits that could be derived from nanotechnology has resulted in both developed and developing country investment and R&D engagement with nanotechnology, as the UNESCO Science Report: Towards 2030 explains. Indeed, the USA formally marked the start of an international technology race in nanotechnology, with the launching of its „National Nanotechnology Initiative‟ in January 2000, consecrating the phenomenal amount of US$270 million to this promising field. The rest of the world has followed suite with minimal delay – presumably to avoid the technological lag. The EU Framework Program for Research and Technological Development in Europe made it one of its themes in the 5th Framework Programme (1998–2002), with an overall budget of €14.96 billion. Developing and transition economies of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) have also given nanotechnology a high priority, and all countries have defined a national plan for its development.

    Outline of Selected Projects Comments by Program Committee Host institution name National Institute for Materials Science Title of center project International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA) Chief entire-project officer Teruo Kishi Masakazu Aono Chief center-project officer (Affiliation: National Institute for Materials Science, Title: Fellow (Coordinating Director of Key Nanotechnologies Field ) ) Masakazu Aono Prospective center director (Affiliation: National Institute for Materials Science, Title: Fellow (Coordinating Director of Key Nanotechnologies Field ) ) ＜Project Summary＞ “Sustainable development” is the biggest issue for humanity in the 21st century. The field of research to which Japan is most likely to make significant contributions regarding this issue is materials science. This project is designed from the viewpoints of the essential importance of materials and the necessity of international cooperation for the effective promotion of the project. In the center, innovative materials that contribute to “sustainable development” will be developed based on a new material technology system called “nanoarchitectonics”. In addition, young researchers will be fostered through the center’s operation so that they can develop their careers to become research leaders in the main body of NIMS. For this purpose, a multinational and multidisciplinary group of researchers will be organized to conduct cutting-edge research in a relaxed international environment, and making up a total workforce of 200 staff. ＜Remarks＞ Nanoscience is a strong field in Japan, and NIMS has contributed greatly. MANA covers an important field. MANA is clearly a well-identified and basically a very orthodox approach to strengthening what is already strong in the international arena. The research field is well defined and important.

This originates from the outstanding demonstrations obtained in the last two decades of the possibility to control the organization of matter at the scale of few atoms and molecules, to address their properties and to obtain functional systems with potential exploitation in the fi elds of health, environment, energy and communication. Research in nanoscience requires direct sensitivity to the atomic scale and to the fundamental time scale of the processes ruling the assembly of matter and the interactions with light, electric current, and molecules at all levels of complexity, from the gases of the atmosphere to proteins and DNA.
