Call for proposals for developing new world-class research infrastructures H2020-INFRADEV-1-2014-1 Closed!
Objectives
The Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2014-2020) is implemented by specific programme and work programmes.
The “Excellent science” priority aims to reinforce and extend the excellence of the Union's science base and to consolidate the ERA in order to make the Union's research and innovation system more competitive on a global scale. It consists of four specific objectives, and this call for proposal is focused on:
"Research infrastructures" develops and support excellent European research infrastructures and assist them to contribute to the ERA by fostering their innovation potential, attracting world-level researchers and training human capital, and complement this with the related Union policy and international cooperation.

Actions
Actions foreseen within this call for proposals include the following topics:
- INFRADEV-1-2014: Design studies. New leading-edge research infrastructures in all fields of science and technology are needed by the European scientific community in order to remain at the forefront of the advancement of research, and to be able to help industry strengthen its base of knowledge and its technological know-how. The aim of this activity is to support the conceptual and technical design and preparatory actions for new research infrastructures, which are of a clear European dimension and interest. Major upgrades of existing infrastructures may also be considered if the end result is intended to be equivalent to, or capable of replacing, an existing infrastructure.
- INFRADEV-4-2014-2015: Implementation and operation of cross-cutting services and solutions for clusters of ESFRI and other relevant research infrastructure initiatives. This topic will contribute to the construction and operation of the research infrastructures identified in the ESFRI Roadmap, therefore proposals must be centred and built around ESFRI projects in a specific thematic area that is broad enough to gather critical mass (e.g. Biomedical Science, Advanced Light Sources, Astronomy, Environment and Earth Sciences). While the ESFRI projects represent the core component of any cluster, other relevant world class research infrastructures, ERICs, e-infrastructures and Integrating Activity projects should also be involved in a cluster.
