Design Studies:

• FS and TPW on new infrastructures

• Clear European dimension and interest

• Must “systematically explore EIB and Structural Funds”

• Infrastructure can be outside EU, if EU participates

• Upgrade to existing infrastructure, if replaces new

FP6 Design StudiesFP6 Design Studies

Feasibility Studies:

“will aim at laying the conceptual foundations of a potential new or enhanced infrastructure. This could consist in the basic feasibility study of a specific new

facility or in exploring a new fundamental technology or technique underpinning a whole new concept. Alternatively, a feasibility study could

cover the detailed engineering design of a proposed infrastructure, in particular in relation to its most technologically advanced aspects (i.e. excluding the

detailed design of standard elements of the new infrastructure).“

Technical Preparatory Work:

“will cover the development and testing of components, subsystems, materials or techniques (including dedicated software) that are critical for the future development of a new or enhanced infrastructure. Support will

however not be provided for preparatory work based on existing or proven techniques or technologies, nor when it aims at reproducing available

components or materials.”

FundingFunding

• Assume DS will be 4 years end 2008

• Can get 10M€ from EC

• Must find at least the same from existing sources

• Need to check FP6 rules, e.g. MICE beam and inf?

• “Third party” funding?

• Matching funding/Work Package or total?

• Need to check what “capital investments” are

• Within these limits, there are no limits!
