1 Research infrastructures in FP7: Seismology and Geophysics Domenico Giardini, ETHZ Internation Workshop on Disaster Risk Reduction Bruxelles October, 2009

2 EC FP Seven-year targeted program on four actions: Capacities: optimize existing RIs and create new RIs Cooperation: small and large integrated research projects People: Ideas: mobility of individual researchers and ITN investigator-driven research evaluated by ERC

3 EC FP Emphasis on large-scale integrated projects (IP, NE, I3) and free circulation of researchers (MC, RTN) Little room for FP5-type bottom-up research projects Clear selection process, with thresholds High administration overhead People SPICE RTN on seismic wave propagation, 14p Cooperation LESSLOSS IP on earthquake Risk, 46p SAFER small IP on seismic early warning, 18p TRANSFER small IP on tsunami early warning, 33p Capacities NERIES I3 seismic infrastructures, 25p

4 EC FP Capacities large programs (but smaller budgets than in FP6) only/mostly pre-defined titles very tough selection thresholds Infra-2008 I3 SERIES: Earthquake Engineering Infrastructures Infra RIs for Earthquake Hazard (I3 NERA) European Plate Observing Platform (ESFRI EPOS)

5 EC FP People individual researchers and ITN open calls oversubscribed, very competitive PEOPLE-ITN-2009 Earth s seismic sources and structure (QUEST) PEOPLE-ITN-2010 Several new proposals will be submitted

6 Cooperation EC FP overall program priorities defined for the 7-year period individual calls defined every year on the basis of national priorities and domain lobbying small (<3.5M) and large (<7M) projects ENV-2008 SHARE: Seismic hazard harmonization Seismic observatories: no proposal selected ENV-2009 SYNER-G: Systemic seismic vulnerability Seismic observatories: no proposal selected ENERGY-2009 GEISIR: induced seismicity in geothermal systems
