AnaEE

A European infrastructure for analysis and experimentation on ecosystems

AnaEE: addressing key scientific & societal challenges

Challenges facing Europe and the world

• The sustainability of agricultural, forested, freshwater and other managed and

natural ecosystems is critical for the future of mankind

• However, the services provided by these ecosystems are under threat
• Climate change
• Loss of biodiversity
• Land use changes
• Disturbance of global C, N and P cycles
• We need to understand and forecast how ecosystems will respond to current

and future changes

AnaEE – a response to these challenges

Our vision

• Help scientists and policymakers

develop solutions to the challenges of food security and environmental sustainability

• Support scientists in analysing,

assessing and forecasting global changes like climate change

• Stimulate the growth of a vibrant

bioeconomy

• Build permanent and substantial

links between researchers, science managers, policy makers, industry and citizens

Our strategic objectives

• Build capacity in ecosystem

science through of the art facilities

• Structure the research community
• Strengthen the European research

area

• Provide access to massive, high-

quality environmental data from experimental ecosystem research

• Feed into public policy processes

to help mitigate and adapt to change

• Provide solutions to the

challenges of the bioeconomy 03/11/2015

Legal, Governance and Funding Issues

AnaEE will become an ERIC – creation of legal entity planned for 2018 Supranational governance – hub and three service centres Funding models under discussion Intellectual Property Framework drafted – now has to become a policy ERIC statutes beginning to be drafted Governance for Construction Phase still to be defined National Ministries to be presented with a Letter of Intent to sign

Where we are now?

Strengths

• Well-defined scientific community
• Clearly defined need for AnaEE
• Major core countries strongly support AnaEE
• Collective approach to grand challenges
• Bridges with other communities
• AnaEE will help improve cost efficiency: economies of scale

Opportunities

• Existing high-level platforms in many countries
• Member States insist on prioritisation – AnaEE can help

identify best platforms in Europe

• Structural funds could finance new or upgraded platforms in

many parts of Europe

• Opportunity to build links with industry and create jobs

Weaknesses

• Long-term funding needs to be secured, especially in period
• f crisis
• National viewpoints – some platform owners do not yet

understand the value of a European infrastructure

• Risk of gaps in covering all European ecosystem types – this

can lead to an incomplete portrait of European ecosystems

• Key countries missing

Threats

• Slow progress on building the legal, governance and funding

model could endanger support from policymakers

• New ESFRI infrastructures: may dilute the landscape
• UK EU referendum and other geopolitical issues – major

threat to stability of research funding landscape

Next steps

Autumn 2015: Submission of Letter of Intent to Ministries Autumn 2015: Outlining of list of qualifying platforms and those that need upgrades, following analysis of Call responses Autumn 2015: I3 call (AnaEE-ExpeER 2) for an integrating activity on experimentation on ecosystems Spring 2016: finalised list of platforms in AnaEE 30 April 2016: end of AnaEE Preparatory Phase

• This phase is entirely funded by partipating countries and bodies
• Governance will focus on continuing work of Preparatory Phase and laying the groundwork

for the full implementation of AnaEE 1 May 2016: beginning of AnaEE Construction Phase 2018-2019: signature and creation of a legal entity for AnaEE
