  1. EPOSwhere we are, where we go ! Massimo Cocco INGV EPOS Meeting

  2. ESFRI has been launched in April 2002 ESFRI, the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures, is a strategic instrument to develop the scientific integration of Europe and to strengthen its international outreach • ESFRI’s role and ambitions: • To jointly reflect on the development of strategic policies for pan-European Research Infrastructures • To prepare a European Roadmap with regular updates as different areas mature (!) • To act as an incubator for RI projects with pan-European interest ..…but it is not a decision making body http://cordis.europa.eu/esfri/ EPOS Meeting

  3. EPOS has been submitted for the update of the ESFRI roadmap in November 2007 • It has been evaluated during 2008 • During the evaluation phase the EPOS’s partnership increased from 7 to 13 countries • 3 countries are now joining the initiative and in other 4 contacts are going on at national level • EPOS succeeded and was included in the ESFRI 2008 Roadmap on December 2008 ftp://ftp.cordis.europa.eu/pub/esfri/docs/esfri_roadmap_update_2008.pdf EPOS Meeting

  4. The ESFRI Roadmap is an ongoing process • First edition 2006 and updated in 2008 with 44 projects • Preparatory phase funding for most with second round soon • About 10 will fly by 2010 • European X-FEL first to go real – civil construction started in 2009 and International convention agreed 2 days ago.

  9. What is EPOS ? EPOS is a long-term integration plan that aims to create a single sustainable, permanent and distributed infrastructure that includes: • geophysical monitoring networks • local observatories (including permanent in-situ and volcano observatories) • experimental laboratories in Europe EPOS will give open access to geophysical and geological data and modelling tools, enabling a step change in multidisciplinary scientific research into different areas

  10. EPOS infrastructure concept Space Observations DInSar – GMES…. Volcano Ash Dispersal. GEOSS……..

Users, science, education, public Data mining, archives …….. e-infrastructures

  11. EPOS: the Partnership • EPOS presently includes 13 countries: Italy, France, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany, The Netherlands, Denmark, Turkey, Greece, Norway, Iceland, Romania, Portugal • New entries: Spain, Israel, Czech Republic • Two international organizations involved: ORFEUS and EMSC (they will favour open access & new entries) http://www.orfeus-eu.org/ • Several countries have direct links to their national roadmaps, but others are looking for an official commitment • New contacts are ongoing with several other countries (Ireland, Sweden, Slovak Republic, Poland); others will start soon (Russia).

  12. Our Present Tasks • The Preparatory Phase Proposal INFRA-2010-2.2.2: EPOS (Infrastructure for the study of tectonics and Earth surface dynamics). • The implementation of the e-infrastructure concept • The modern integration of our scientific community • The implementation of our RIs integration plan EPOS Meeting

  14. Where we go ! The centrality of Research Infrastructures for Innovation John Wood, EGEE09, Barcelona, 2009 EPOS Meeting

  15. Do we really need EPOS ?Can we use EPOS for empowering our researchers to own the future ? EPOS Meeting

  16. EPOS advances for scientists • Getting national priorities • Implementing transnational access • Giving visibility and coherence to our community • Structuring our community to be competitive for global challenges • Ensuring long term sustainability of our RIs • Reduce fragmentation • Optimize effectiveness and impact EPOS Meeting

  17. EPOS DUAL ROLEgetting ready for preparatory phase • Pan-European integration of existing research infrastructures • Integrating multidisciplinary infrastructures as a key challenge for solid Earth Science • Identifying existing gaps and pilot projects to promote a modern implementation of RIs • Long-term sustainability of research infrastructures at national level • Guaranteeing maintenance and the minimum required implementation level • Supporting the development of the monitoring infrastructures coordinated with the Epos's pan-European integrated vision

  18. Grand challenges are pressing EPOS can contribute to this task Will we be able to face them ?
