Forskningsinfrastruktur er samlebetegnelsen for en bred vifte af udstyr, måleapparater, testfaciliteter, databaser, laboratoriefaciliteter, forsøgsanlæg, store computere samt andre værktøjer og faciliteter, som anvendes i forskningsprocessen og i frembringelsen af ny viden.
Research infrastructure is the collective term for a wide variety of equipment, measuring instruments, test facilities, databases, laboratory facilities, test plants, supercomputers and other tools and resources employed in research processes and in generating new knowledge.
Forskningsinfrastruktur kan tage form som en enkeltstående fysisk facilitet, der kan have en fast placering eller være mobil, som et distribueret netværk af for eksempel samlinger, laboratorier eller målestationer eller som en virtuel foranstaltning med onlineadgang.
Research infrastructure may be in the form of a single-sited physical facility (a single resource at a single location, whether static or mobile); a distributed network (comprising collections, laboratories or measuring stations); or a virtual facility (offering online access).
Forskningsinfrastruktur anvendes inden for alle videnskabelige hovedområder men ser ofte forskellig ud fra fagområde til fagområde.
Research infrastructure is utilised within all of the main scientific disciplines, but takes different forms from one discipline to the next.
En fællesnævner for alle typer og former af tidssvarende og avanceret forskningsinfrastruktur er dog, at de udgør en nødvendig værktøjskasse for udvikling og understøttelse af dansk forskning, uddannelse og innovation på et konkurrencedygtigt internationalt niveau.
One common denominator, however, of all types and forms of contemporary and advanced research infrastructures is that they constitute an essential 'tool box' for developing and supporting Danish research, education and innovation at an internationally competitive level.
Dermed har de en vigtig rolle i forhold til at øge Danmarks viden og vækst.
This gives them a key role in boosting Danish knowledge and growth.
Danske forskere har brug for adgang til de mest moderne faciliteter, så de også i fremtiden kan være blandt de førende i verden.
Danish researchers need access to state-of-the-art facilities in order to sustain their ranking among the global elite in the future.
Samtidig er tidssvarende forskningsinfrastruktur en kon- kurrenceparameter, når det gælder fastholdelse og rekruttering af de bedste studerende og forskere, ligesom forskningsinfrastrukturer fungerer som væsentlige mødesteder for overførslen af viden, innovation og teknologi mellem forskning og erhverv.
Equally, access to up-to-date research infrastructure is a competitive parameter in the retention and recruitment of top students and researchers, while research infrastructures also serve as hubs for knowledge, innovation and technology transfer between research and industry.
Uddannelses- og Forskningsministeriet (UFM) har udarbejdet denne roadmap, der kan læses som en strategisk konkretisering af indsatsområdet.
The present Roadmap was developed by the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science as a strategic delineation of future research infrastructure initiatives.
En national strategi er vigtig for at imødekomme nogle af de strukturelle udfordringer, som præger forskningsinfrastrukturområdet i disse år, og som medfører, at en række vigtige beslutninger om forskningsinfrastruktur bevæger sig mod det nationale niveau.
A national strategy is important in addressing some of the structural challenges currently shaping research infrastructure policy, and which are causing key decisions on research infrastructure to tend in favour of national-level coordination.
Denne publikation, ”Dansk roadmap for forskningsinfrastruktur 2015”, præsenterer derfor Uddannelses- og Forsk- ningsministeriets vision og strategiske sigtelinjer for området de kommende fem år.
The present publication, "Danish Roadmap for Research Infrastructure 2015", consequently presents the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science's vision and strategic objectives for this policy area over the coming five years.
Samtidig indeholder den et katalog over konkrete forslag til nationale forskningsinfrastrukturer, der på kort sigt anbefales til investering.
At the same time, it presents a catalogue of specific proposals for national infrastructures, which in the short term are recommended as investment prospects.
I kapitel 2 udfoldes forskningsinfrastrukturs potentiale og betydning for forskning, uddannelse, innovation og vækst.
Chapter 2 elaborates on the potential and significance of research infrastructure for research, education, innovation and growth.
Kapitlet angiver også en række udfordringer, som fører til præsentationen af ministeriets vision og otte strategiske sigtelinjer frem til 2020 i kapitel 3.
This chapter also sets out a number of challenges that lead into the presentation of the Ministry's vision and eight strategic objectives towards 2020 in Chapter 3.
Disse vil lægge grundstenene for Uddannelses- og Forskningsministeriets forskningsinfrastrukturindsats i de kommende år.
These will pave the way for the Ministry's research infrastructure initiatives in the coming years.
Kapital 4 rummer et katalog med 22 konkrete forskningsinfrastrukturer af national betydning, jævnfør tekstboks 1.1 nedenfor.
Chapter 4 contains a catalogue of 22 specific prososals for research infrastructures of national significance; see Text Box 1.1 below.
Roadmappen og kataloget er blevet til på baggrund af aktiv inddragelse af og dialog med danske universiteter og centrale forskningsinstitutioner og erstatter den tidligere danske road- map for forskningsinfrastruktur fra 2011.
The Roadmap and its catalogue were compiled on the basis of active involvement by and dialogue with Danish universities and other national research institutions, and replace the previous Danish Roadmap for Research Infrastructure from 2011.

Benefits of research infrastructure
Den videnskabelige og samfundsøkonomiske værdi af forskningsinfrastruktur er blevet analyseret og påvist mange gange.
The scientific and socioeconomic value of research infrastructure has been analysed and proven many times over.
Studier af effekterne af forskningsinfrastruktur forekommer imidlertid at være dedikerede til primært store og enkeltstående ”big science”-faciliteter af europæisk eller global betydning og rækkevidde.
Studies of the positive impacts of research infrastructure appear, however, to be devoted primarily to large and isolated big science facilities with European or global significance and scope.
Omvendt er der, så vidt vides, ingen undersøgelser af værdien af mellemstore nationale forskningsinfrastrukturer eller af forskningsinfrastrukturer, som er distribuerede eller virtuelle i deres natur.
Conversely, to our knowledge, there have been no studies of the value of medium-sized national research infrastructures or of research infrastructures that are distributed or virtual in nature.
Det må antages, at den værdi, der er påvist af ”big science”-faciliteterne, også er til stede ved andre typer forskningsinfrastrukturer, omend i mindre skala.
It must be assumed that the value demonstrated by the big science facilities is also present in other types of research infrastructure, albeit on a smaller scale.
Omfanget af den faktiske gevinst – og særligt den økonomiske – er naturligvis afhængig af den konkrete forskningsinfrastruktur, dens fagområde og dens karakteristika.
The scale of the actual benefit, not least the financial benefit, naturally depends on the particular research infrastructure, the disciplines it serves and its characteristics.
Eksempelvis må en distribueret forskningsinfrastruktur netop grundet dens spredte natur forventes at have et mindre økonomisk gennemslag lokalt og regionalt sammenlignet med en enkeltstående facilitet i samme område.
A distributed research infrastructure for instance is intrinsically expected to have less financial impact locally and regionally than a single-sited facility.
Det gælder naturligvis også, at der må forventes en sammenhæng mellem investeringens størrelse og det samfundsøkonomiske afkast.
It is naturally also a given that the scale of socioeconomic returns is likely to be proportional to the scale of investment.
Dette kapitel angiver en række alment accepterede og generaliserede gevinster, som kan forventes at følge af danske investeringer i avanceret forskningsinfrastruktur.
This chapter discusses a number of commonly recognised and generalised benefits that may be anticipated as derivable from Danish investments in advanced research infrastructure.
Fokus vil være på de samfundsøkonomiske effekter.
The focus here is on the positive socioeconomic impacts.
Kapitlet afrundes med en række udfordringer og tendenser på området, som alle udfordrer det fulde nationale udbytte af forskningsinfrastruktur.
This chapter rounds off with a number of issues and trends in the area, all of which challenge realisation of the full national benefit from research infrastructure.
Videnskabelige gevinster
Scientific benefits
Ny viden og nybrud i forskningen inden for alle videnskabelige hovedområder er afhængig af forskernes adgang til moderne og avancerede forskningsinfrastrukturer.
New research findings and breakthroughs within all the main scientific fields are contingent on researchers having access to state-of-the-art research infrastructures.
Tænk for eksempel på databankers betydning for genomforskning, målestationers vigtighed for miljøvidenskab eller nødvendigheden af strålefaciliteter og rent-rumsfaciliteter for udviklingen af nye materialer og nanoteknologi.
Cases in point would be the significance of databanks for genomics research, the importance of measuring stations for environmental science, or the indispensability of radiation facilities and clean-room facilities for the development of new materials and advances in nanotechnology.
Med nye distribuerede og online-faciliteter inden for humaniora og samfundsvidenskab er der sket en eksponentiel vækst af data, hvorfor sammenkædningen og integrationen heraf giver nye muligheder for komparativ forskning over tid og sted inden for disse fagområder.
The new distributed and online facilities within the humanities and the social sciences have yielded an exponential increase in data, the linkage and integration of which hold unprecedented opportunities for comparative research in time and space within these research areas.
