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

03/11/2015 4 AnaEE – a response to these challenges Our vision Our strategic objectives • Help scientists and policymakers • Build capacity in ecosystem develop solutions to the science through of the art facilities challenges of food security and • Structure the research community environmental sustainability • Strengthen the European research • Support scientists in analysing, area assessing and forecasting global • Provide access to massive, high- changes like climate change quality environmental data from • Stimulate the growth of a vibrant experimental ecosystem research bioeconomy • Feed into public policy processes • Build permanent and substantial to help mitigate and adapt to links between researchers, change science managers, policy makers, industry and citizens • Provide solutions to the challenges of the bioeconomy

03/11/2015 22 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

03/11/2015 23 Where we are now? Strengths Opportunities • Well-defined scientific community • Existing high-level platforms in many countries • Clearly defined need for AnaEE • Member States insist on prioritisation – AnaEE can help • Major core countries strongly support AnaEE identify best platforms in Europe • Structural funds could finance new or upgraded platforms in • Collective approach to grand challenges many parts of Europe • Bridges with other communities • Opportunity to build links with industry and create jobs • AnaEE will help improve cost efficiency: economies of scale SWOT Analysis Weaknesses Threats • Long-term funding needs to be secured, especially in period • Slow progress on building the legal, governance and funding of crisis model could endanger support from policymakers • National viewpoints – some platform owners do not yet • New ESFRI infrastructures: may dilute the landscape understand the value of a European infrastructure • UK EU referendum and other geopolitical issues – major • Risk of gaps in covering all European ecosystem types – this threat to stability of research funding landscape can lead to an incomplete portrait of European ecosystems • Key countries missing

03/11/2015 24 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 1 May 2016: beginning of AnaEE Construction 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 2018-2019: signature and creation of a legal entity for AnaEE
