3 Energy Efficient Buildings 3

4 Health and Ageing Society 4

5 Future Infrastructure Networks in Europe

6 Transport Infrastructure Networks Artery system of our society Mobility of people Mobility of goods Impact on all other activities Heritage of the past and Infrastructure of Tomorrow s Quality of Life / Economy How to deliver more Sustainability Resilience to climate change For new energy modes For an ageing society At socially acceptable cost

7 If things are not changing (1/2) Requirements for sustainable construction will increase construction and maintenance costs Quality of services will become more difficult to ensure Traffic congestion will continue to grow with detrimental societal and economic costs Deteriorating infrastructure will cost EU companies billions of Euros in lost growth potential; it will reduce the benefits from investments made on other sections of strategic transportation axes Inefficient transport corridors will jeopardize the efficiency of industry Europe s industry will fall behind in international competition 7

8 If things are not changing (2/2) New transport technologies will fail to develop because of inadequate / insufficient infrastructure Failing infrastructure will not cope with climate change: more severe and frequent disruptions with deeper impact on quality of life and economy Environmental impact of infrastructure will become dramatic: From construction, to upgrade and maintenance, to demolition Consumption of land, energy, raw materials Nuisances (noise, vibrations, pollution of air and ground water) Waste generation 8

9 Construction Sector in the EU 27 Construction Sector is the biggest EU industrial employer 10.4% of GDP and 49.2% of Gross Fixed Capital Formation 30% of industrial employment, 7.6% of totalemployment 16.3 million operatives A large influence on the whole economy 48,9 millions workers depending on Construction Buildings/infrastructure supplied by the Constuction sector serve all other industries and services EU Construction Sector must remain the international leader 9

14 refine Vision: HLSI High Level Service Infrastructure 14

15 refine Vision for Infrastructure Networks (1/2) To provide continuous, efficient and reliable quality of service with minimum environmental impact over their entire life cycle To ensure smart and resilient services throughout climate change, natural and man-made hazards To optimise and manage maintenance / upgrade so as to preserve the quality of life for the future generations of European citizens 15

16 refine Vision for Infrastructure Networks (2/2) To support EU social and territorial cohesion in a sustainable way To provide continuous and safe mobility for a high quality of life in sustainable European cities To support an integrated and efficient transport system for competitive European economy 16

27 refine is recognised by the EC European Economic and Social Committee on ETPs and industrial change (4/10/2012) 6.3 Future role of ETPs The role of ETPs is expected to be maintained in future (..). The EC is expected to use more ( ) implementation instruments in Horizon 2020 such as PPPs, and Joint Technology Initiatives (JTIs) There is a strong commitment from the industry and the broader stakeholders to support the implementation of tools above mentioned. Examples include Public-Private Partnerships for Biobased Industries PPP (Biobased for Growth), Sustainable Process Industries through Resources and Energy Efficiency (SPIRE), Energy Materials Industrial Research Initiative (EMIRI) and Research for Future Infrastructure Networks in Europe (refine).

28 Towards HORIZON 2020 DG MOVE Transport White Paper 2011 (28/3/2011) New TEN-T Guidelines (19/10/2011) Strategic Transport Technology Plan 2012 (13/9/2012) Transport means : clean, smart, safe and quiet rail and road vehicles, aircraft and vessels with a more effective interface with infrastructure Infrastructure : smart, green, low-maintenance and climate-resilient infrastructure, including for the provision of alternative fuels, modal traffic management and information systems which can support user services, demand management, and other solutions related to optimised infrastructure usage Transport services and operations: seamless and efficient services for passenger and freight transport

29 DG Research - Horizon Smart, Green and Integrated Transport Resource efficient transport that respects the environment Aircraft, vehicles, etc / Propulsion technologies / alternative energies Smart equipment and infrastructures Improving transport and mobility in urban areas Better mobility, less congestion, more safety and security reduction of traffic congestion / transport and management systems Innovative air traffic management technologies Waterborne transport, improved and integrated planning and management technologies Rail and road :, the optimisation of network management will improve efficient use of infrastructure New concepts of freight transport and logistics Safety, security Global leadership for the European transport industry New generation of transport means On board, smart control systems Advanced production processes Exploring entirely new transport concepts Evidence-based transport policy for the long term

30 Conclusions Coordination and optimisation of research is necessary to pave the way of the Future Infrastructures Networks of Europe (refine) Innovation (technology, processes) must go through demonstration facilities or construction sites ECTP: entrepreneurs committed for research Cooperation between ETPs is highly needed A long way behind us since 2009 Vision, SRA, Impacts Infrastructure is in agenda of H2020 (NEW and OLD infra) Next steps (coming weeks) Consolidating topics Prioritising and timing of topics
