We are guests of the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) in its headquarters
The first “stakeholder” was Papa Leone X, in favour of his brother Giuliano de’ Medici, then it
was purchased by the Lante family of Pisa, who invested in its “upgrades” to acquire “roman”
character while integrating with the roman aristocracy (della Rovere, Orsini, Borghese, Massimo)

Evaluation Criteria
and Priorities
in establishing GRIs
GRI can be prompted by:
a) International agreement on urgent action for
addressing a science issue or a great challenge
b) Extension at global level of monitoring
infrastructures (oceans, solid earth, atmosphere,
solar system, infectious diseases, epidemia,
international cohorts…)
c) Adoption of GRI status of internationally used RIs.
Establishment of World Laboratories
a-type GRI case
-
-
International science community agrees on scope and
expected discovery and demonstrates to several
Governments the benefit to operate internationally/globally.
International outlook bodies (GSF) support.
GSO informs G8+N that a GRI can be the winning solution
and carry benefits to many/all Countries.
The GRI framework is put to a stress-test.
An intergov. treaty/agreement is prepared and site selection
is discussed/negotiated. Whatrrole for GSO: fostering and
facilitating contacts (group of wide people)? Leading the
science and diplomatic approach? Acting as global reviewing
committee? Other…
b-type GRI case
The effectiveness of research requires full data sets for monitoring and properly
modelling the earth dynamics (climate, weather, desertification, ice-melting, ozone
screen…)
Evaluation of effectiveness of existing relevant regional RIs and evaluation of their
networking at global level vs. replacing technology for an altogether novel GRI.
GSO informs G8+N that a globally distributed GRI integrating the state-of-the-art
existing observatories or upgraded observatories can be the winning solution and
carry benefits to all for a sustainable cost
The GRI framework is put to a stess-test
An intergovt treaty/agreement is prepared and headquarters/data center selection are
discussed/negotiated What role of GSO towards already installed GEO SS ?
Overarching executive or steering committee ?
Organization level (CERN, ITER…) or new global RI “instruments2 (LHC for example) ?
c-type GRIs
An existing laboratory offering international access offers to
integrate more international programmes and contributions,
opening to a global governance.
The science community at large recognizes the advantages to
invest and access to that laboratory, or to federate with it
complementary facilities.
A science outlook is updated as a function of two scenarios:
the integration in a World-Laboratory dedicated to a specific
objective (physics, genomics, space, energy…) vs. maintaining
independent dispersed efforts. Conclusions are reached on
necessity/opportunity/sustainability of the different options
The GRI framework is put to a stress-test
Evaluation Criteria in establishing
GRIs
The Global dimension must be a clear added value, or a precondition for the research results
(Time and money value)
The GRI must substitute or complement/coordinate the
national/regional on-going efforts and allow to reach an overall
sustainable cost and increase of return from investment
The GRI must offer data and results of paramount interest and,
under proper policy, of open access to foster scientific knowledge
and innovation skills for societal and economical actions.
Priority Criteria in establishing GRIs
The GRI concept will be prioritized by the readiness of the
proponents and supporting governments (national strategies)
A pragmatic approach shall be adopted as a GRI system will
require time and trials to become an effective reality
A priority would be set by the agreement on the grand
challenges. Lower priority will be given to projects that overlap
in scope with existing GRIs.
Clear acceptance by the world scientific community and
recognition of global sustainability by a critical mass of
Governments will be priority elements.

Research Infrastructure for Heritage Science – RIHS
Heritage preservation is a global challenge requiring global
cooperative and multidisciplinary approaches.
RIHS supports advanced research in heritage science through access
to an integrated platform of services and tools including mobile
diagnostic instruments, large scale facilities and scientific archives.
•
•
Heritage science is founded on the interdisciplinary combination
of knowledge from arts and humanities (conservation,
archaeology, history, art history, ethics etc.), and from science and
technology (chemistry, physics, mathematics, anthropology,
biology, geology, computer sciences and engineering, etc.).
Heritage science supports the various aspects of tangible and
intangible heritage conservation, interpretation and
management.

Research Infrastructure for Heritage Science – RIHS
•
•
43 institutions from 18 EU member states currently joining the
proposal for establishing RIHS in Europe. (700 users/year + 1000
virtual access users, remote access heritage datasets
>500.000/year)
More than 22 institution from all over the world already applied
to be associated to RIHS. (International potential >4-fold increase
in users)
Hosting of the legal entity proposed by the intergovernmental
organization ICCROM-International Centre for the Study of the
Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property

Research Infrastructure for Heritage Science – RIHS
•
RIHS will result from the joining of several on-going initiatives:

The Palaeoanthropology initiative was initiated by the European
Commission at the Palaeoanthropology and Cultural Heritage session
at the International Conference on Research Infrastructures, ICRI2014
(http://www.icri2014.eu/sessions/parallel-thematic- sessionspalaeoanthropology-cultural-heritage).

Research Infrastructure for Heritage Science – RIHS
•
•
•
The global value and impact of RIHS as a world-wide distributed
infrastructure will benefit from the involvement of prominent
international institutions working in the field of heritage science.
International partners are seminal to introduce in their regional
ecosystems the innovations and the cutting-edge tools provided
by the global infrastructure. They are also key stakeholders in
involving local communities in study and preservation of heritage,
and play major roles in dissemination, communication, use of
best practices, standards and protocols.
Access to archives (of restoration data, scientific data, ...) is one of
the services that RIHS will provide to the research communities.
International partners involved in the infrastructure can provide
their scientific and practical knowledge with far better visibility to
scientists in the global community.
