Beyond EuroMagNETII

The official policy of the EU-Research Directorat is that ‘mature’ I3s, like EuroMagNET, will not be eligible for future funding, but should be transformed into multinational ‘Research Infrastructure Consortia’

LNCMI, HLD and HFML will no longer be funded for giving access to non-national users (currently over 1M€/y)

Starting 2013, EuroMagNET has be transformed into a French-Dutch-German-??? Research Infrastructure Consortium

A new legal form for European research infrastructures: ERIC

European Research Infrastructure Consortium (22/6/2009)

- International organization, ruled by European and host country law

- legal person with statutory seat, limited liability

- At least three Member states or intergovernmental organizations

- to establish and operate research infrastructures

- VAT and public supply rule exemptions

- proposed by the partners, attributed by EC

- and lots more……

ESFRI project ‘ European Magnetic Field Laboratory’ (EMFL)

1) Improve the efficiency of the 4 european facilities through coordination and collaboration

2) Increase the human and financial resources of the 4 facilities

3) Specificity for Grenoble: integration with the high field project of the ESRFI upgrade of ILL and ESRF

Ultimate aim: offer european scientists the same possibilities as their american colleagues in high field research.

ESFRI« The European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures was launched in April 2002. It brings together representatives of EU Member States and Associated States, appointed by Ministers in charge of Research, and one representative of the European Commission. The role of ESFRI is to support a coherent approach to policy-making on research infrastructures in Europe, and to act as an incubator for international negotiations about concrete initiatives. « 

Status: projet ‘EMFL’ submitted in September 2007 to ESFRI, accepted on the Roadmap in December 2008.

- First ESRFI Roadmap in 2005, updated in 2008, next update 2010

- So far 240 projects submitted, 44 accepted on the Roadmap

Next step: Call for Preparatory Phase Proposals FP7-INFRA-2010-2.2.9; ‘Creation of the EMFL’, deadline December 3rd 2009.

1) Collaboration and coordination

3) EMFL-G and ILL/ESRF in Grenoble

ESRF (X rays source) and ILL (neutron source) want to install a DC high field facility on their beamlines ( 40 MW, >30 T) as part of their upgrades (ESRFI Roadmap 2005); technical feasibility established, investment needed 60 M€. Decision planned end 2010/beginning 2011.

Sharing the site, the power supply and the cooling plant between ILL/ESRF et EMFL is under discussion → large reduction of investments for EMFL

Opportunity/complication!

Status of the ILL/ESRF/EMFL project

Required investment:

35 M€ for power supply, cooling and magnets

- Bringing 40 MW to the ILL/ESRF site is possible

- Cooling the 40 MW is possible

- A 40 Tesla horizontal, longitudinal field is possible

- A 30 + Tesla vertical split coil is possible

Feasibility:

Running costs:

- 5 M€/y electricity costs for 3800 hours of field

- 1 M€/y for coils

Summary:

- European high field research is increasing in capabilities and impact

- Until 2012 it is supported and stimulated by EuroMagNET2

- From 2013 on, we have to find a new collaboration form that will allow us to continu to progress. This should be a community effort! The facilities are working hard towards this goal, but need the support of their users.
