Large Research Infrastructures

Grandes Instalaciones Científicas

The activities of CDTI in the area of the GICs have two main objectives:

  1. Promote the search of opportunities forimprove the technological trainingspanish companies of the industrial sector of science in the short, medium and long term. To this end, CDTI supports r & D & I projects with potential future recruitment, especially in theLarge international Science Facilitieswith spanish contributioninfrastructure,ESFRI map(Forum strategic European research infrastructure) and facilitiesPair of ICTS(Scientific facilities and Unique Techniques).
  2. Optimize technological returnsmajor Scientific Facilities of the international arena in which spain is contributing as a member country. To this end, CDTI participates in government Bodies in a number of large Scientific Facilities and as a focal point with industry. In Addition, CDTI has tools for specific funding for the promotion of participation in these facilities.

 

Large international Science Facilities

At the international level, CDTI participates as an expert in the committee of the programme of research infrastructures as well as in the committees of finance CERN, ESRF, European XFEL, that and SKAO. It is also the focal point with the spanish industry (ILO) in the previous agencies, in the ILL, ESS-Lund and IO (ITER Organisation) and in the european agency for ITER (F4E, Fusion for Energy).

Astronomy and astrophysics

  • THAT (The European Southern Observatory)
    • CDTI participates as an expert of the spanish delegation in the finance committee and ILO (Industrial Liaison Officer).
  • SKAO (Observatory Square Kilometre Array Project)
    • CDTI participates as a delegate to the subcommittee of purchases and delegate to the sub-committee on Contributions, both subcommittees In-Kind dependent of the finance committee, in addition to being the ILO (Industry Liaison Officer).

 

In addition, CDTI participates in the infrastructure network of Astronomy (RIA) in that and SKAO and supports the spanish institutes that coordinate the participation in international and other infrastructureCTAO(Observatory Cherenkov Telescope Array) andIS(European Solar Telescope).

 

Scientific and technical infrastructures Unique (ICTS)

TheScientific and technical infrastructures Unique (ICTS)are exceptional and unique facilities. They develop cutting-edge research and of the highest quality, and act as centres of transmission, exchange and preservation of knowledge, technology transfer and promotion of innovation.
