Research infrastructures in FP7:Seismology and Geophysics

Domenico Giardini, ETHZ

Internation Workshop on Disaster Risk Reduction

Bruxelles29-30 October, 2009

EC FP7 2007-2013

Seven-year targeted program on four actions:

Capacities: optimize existing RIs and create new RIs

Cooperation: small and large integrated research projects

People: mobility of individual researchers and ITN

Ideas: investigator-driven research evaluated by ERC

EC FP6 2003-2006Emphasis on large-scale integrated projects (IP, NE, I3) and

free circulation of researchers (MC, RTN)Little room for FP5-type bottom-up research projectsClear selection process, with thresholdsHigh administration overhead

PeopleSPICE – RTN on seismic wave propagation, 14p

CooperationLESSLOSS – IP on earthquake Risk, 46pSAFER – small IP on seismic early warning, 18pTRANSFER – small IP on tsunami early warning, 33p

CapacitiesNERIES – I3 seismic infrastructures, 25p

EC FP7 2007-2013Capacities

large programs (but smaller budgets than in FP6)only/mostly pre-defined titlesvery tough selection thresholds

overall program priorities defined for the 7-year periodindividual calls defined every year on the basis of national

priorities and domain lobbyingsmall (<3.5M) and large (<7M) projects

ENV-2008SHARE: Seismic hazard harmonizationSeismic observatories: no proposal selected

ENV-2009 SYNER-G: Systemic seismic vulnerabilitySeismic observatories: no proposal selected

ENERGY-2009 GEISIR: induced seismicity in geothermal systems

Inter-governmental organization, 26 European countries

Goal: establishing a common roadmap for major EU RIs

No own budget, funding must come from national sources

Large infrastructures, range 40-1‘000MEuro

Roadmap WGs, including the RWG ENV

Roadmap 2006: 35 RI

Roadmap 2008: 8new RI, of which 2 ENV RI

EPOS: European Plate Observing System30-year program for geophysical monitoring of the Euro-

Med region, based on coordination of national efforts and cyber-infrastructures

Focus on earthquakes, volcanoes, surface dynamics

Core group of 8 countries, participation of 35 countries

500 Meuro budget, including the national infrastructures
