1 Introduction
The objective of the Deliverable 3.6 is to identify the existing facilities in Morocco, Tunisia in the field of
Renewable energies and Energy efficiency along with the ESFRI classification scheme.
This deliverable is an important cornerstone to prepare the further launch of an experimental call and
brokerage event for joint innovative projects in the area of RE&EE in January 2015. It will help to identify
collaborative R&D infrastructures, which should be taken into consideration by MAGHRENOV Consortium
partners - KIC InnoEnergy (The Netherlands), IRESEN (Morocco), R&D Maroc (Morocco) and ANME (Tunisia) - to
launch new call for proposals and to develop new roadmaps of research infrastructure development.

2 List of Existing Facilities Along with the ESFRI
Classification Scheme
2.1 Context of the Document
As part of the MAGHRENOV project activities, IRESEN is leading the elaboration of the list of existing
facilities along with the ESFRI classification scheme. This document will be used in the framework of
the joint call for proposals which will be launched in February 2015 in order to evaluate the impact and
the relevance of the submitted projects. Also this document will represent a decision making tool which
can be used to develop new R&D strategies.
2.2 Facilities or Infrastructures in ESFRI Classification
ESFRI, “The European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures”, is a strategic instrument to
develop the scientific integration of Europe and to strengthen its international outreach. The
competitive and open access to high quality Research Infrastructures supports and benchmarks the
quality of the activities of European scientists, and attracts the best researchers from around the
world.
The mission of ESFRI is to support a coherent and strategy-led approach to policy-making on research
infrastructures in Europe, and to facilitate multilateral initiatives leading to the better use and
development of research infrastructures, at EU and international level.
The term ‘Research Infrastructures –RIs-’ refers to facilities, resources and related services used by
the scientific community to conduct top-level research in their respective fields, ranging from social
sciences to astronomy, genomics to nanotechnologies. RIs may be:
F ‘Single-sited’ (a single resource at a single location),
F ‘Distributed’ (a network of distributed resources),
F ‘Virtual’ (the service is provided electronically).
RIs play an increasingly important role in the advancement of knowledge and technology. They are a
key instrument in bringing together a wide diversity of stakeholders to look for solutions to many of the
problems society is facing today. RIs offer unique research services to users from different countries,
attract young people to science, and help to shape scientific communities.
New knowledge and, by implication, innovation, can only emerge from high-quality and accessible RIs.
Moreover, RIs help to create a new research environment in which all researchers - whether working in
the context of their home institutions or in national or multinational scientific initiatives - have shared
access to unique or distributed scientific facilities (including data, instruments, computing and
communications), regardless of their type and location in the world. RIs are therefore at the centre of
triangle of research, education and innovation, producing knowledge through research, diffusing it
through education, and applying it through innovation.

Figure 1: Location of RIs in Research Triangle
2.3 ESFRI Classification Scheme
The ESFRI classification concerns 8 research areas and 33 sub-areas including energy with 6 sub-areas. For
example, the area Energy contains 6 sub-areas as follows: Biomass, Electricity, Fuel Cell, PV, Solar and
wind without including energy efficiency. ESFRI had accounted 120 RIs in the area of energy.
The database of ESFRI lists RIs per EU country and associated projects and for every RIs the following
information are presented following the information:
Country information Name
City
Country
RIs information Name
Description
Area
Sub-area
EU contribution
Duration
Web site
Table 1: RIs Information Used by ESFRI Classification

3 Methodology and Work Approach
In order to prepare a questionnaire, different categories of facilities have been identified from the ESFRI
definition. Thus, 6 kinds of RIs were identified without forgetting web sites and other facilities.
Figure 2: Categories of RIs According to ESFRI Definitions
To complete the ESFRI list, a questionnaire has been established using docs.google.com/forms in order to
collect information following the sections:
F General information (name, country, organization, e-mail address...etc.)
F Activity sector of the organization (Education, R&D and Innovation, R&D funding, administration
and Other sector)
F Category of RIs in the organization (Lab, projects, research platforms, virtual competence and
expertise platform or network, Database, archives, web sites, other RIs)
F Field of RIs (Photovoltaic, Thermal, Wind, Grid integration, biomass and bio energy, energy
efficiency)
F RIs details (name, activity sector, partners, budget).
The questionnaire is an opportunity to include fields, which were not included by ESFRI as a sub-area.
Consequently, we have included –Energy efficiency- and –Grid integration-.
The questionnaire was sent to experts and relevant personalities in the field of R&D infrastructures in
Morocco and Tunisia in cooperation with ANME.

4 List of Existing Facilities in Europe
4.1 Categories and Distribution
4.1.1 Categories
ESFRI has presented 137 existing RIs in the EU area
(http://ec.europa.eu/research/infrastructures/index_en.cfm?pg=mapri).
However the RIs’s details and updating show that there is 143 RIs in different areas and categories:
Figure 4: Research Areas and Categories of European RIs
The figures below 42% of identified RIs in Europe are specialized in PV solar and Biomass thanks to some
European projects, which aim to develop European research infrastructure in those thematic. Otherwise,
these projects have developed a shared infrastructure especially “laboratories” in different European
universities and institutes.
1. SOPHIA PROJECT: PV Research Infrastructure
The objective of the SOPHIA Research Infrastructure project is to strengthen and optimise PV research
capabilities, mainly by coordinating efforts on important but precompetitive topics.
The SOPHIA project will address the issues of fragmentation and costly duplication of research at the
European scale. Large research infrastructures working together will avoid the useless replication of a large
number of small efforts.
The SOPHIA project aims at bringing together the main European Photovoltaic Research Infrastructures in
order to provide the scientific community with common referential to conduct efficient and coordinated
research work in the field of PV technologies.

2. SFERA PROJECT: Solar facilities For the European Area
Concentrated solar power (CSP) is a very promising renewable source of energy. The best known
application so far is bulk electricity generation through thermodynamic cycles, but other applications have
also been demonstrated, such as production of hydrogen and solar fuels, water treatment and research in
advanced materials.
This EU-funded research project - SFERA - aims to boost scientific collaboration among the leading
European research institutions in solar concentrating systems, offering European research and industry
access to the best research and test infrastructures and creating a virtual European laboratory. The project
incorporates the following activities:
- Transnational Access: Researchers will have access to five state-of-the-art high-flux solar research
facilities, unique in Europe and in the world. Access to these facilities will help strengthen the European
Research Area by opening installations to European and partner countries' scientists, thereby enhancing
cooperation.
- Networking: These include the organisation of training courses and schools' to create a common training
framework, providing regularised, unified training of young researchers in the capabilities and operation of
concentrating solar facilities. Communication activities will seek to both strengthen relationships within
the consortium, creating a culture of cooperation, and to communication to society in general, academia
and especially industry what SFERA is and what services are offered.
- The Joint Research Activities aim to improve the quality and service of the existing infrastructure, extend
their services and jointly achieve a common level of high scientific quality.
3. BRISK PROJECT: Biofuels Research Infrastructure
BRISK is a €10.84M four-year initiative with €8.98M funded under EC FP7 (Ref: 284498). The initiative runs
from 1st October 2011 to September 2015. BRISK is coordinated by Kungliga Tekniska Hoegskolan (KTH)
Stockolm, and includes partners from Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands,
Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the UK (see list below).
BRISK aims to develop a European Research Infrastructure for Thermochemical Biomass Conversion,
supporting R&D on innovative processes to convert sustainable feedstock (agricultural/forestry wastes and
energy crops) into liquid, gaseous or solid fuels.
Production of sustainable biofuels through advanced thermochemical conversion units and biorefineries will
enable a wider range of feedstock to be utilised, making a significant contribution to EU targets for GHG
reduction (20% by 2020 and 50% by 2050) and increased use of renewable energy sources in the transport
sector. Enhanced energy security and integration with other industrial sectors, such as agriculture, also
play a role.
The specific aim of BRISK is to overcome fragmentation in R&D facilities for thermochemical technologies,
by enabling researchers to have access to high-level experimental facilities and services across Europe. The
BRISK network will encourage and facilitate cooperative research in the specialised laboratories of project
partners. The facilities are also open to researchers outside the project.
4. MARINET PROJECT: the Marine Renewable Infrastructure Network
It is a network of research centres and organisations that are working together to accelerate the
development of marine renewable energy technologies - wave, tidal & offshore-wind. It is co-financed by
the European Commission specifically to enhance integration and utilisation of European marine renewable
energy research infrastructures and expertise. MARINET offers periods of free-of-charge access to world-
class R&D facilities & expertise and conducts joint activities in parallel to standardise testing, improve
testing capabilities and enhance training & networking.

5. H2FC PROJECT:
The main objective of H2FC European Infrastructure is to generate a structured and integrated alliance
based on complementary, state-of-the-art, or even beyond state-of-the-art unique infrastructures to serve
the needs of the scientific hydrogen and fuel cells community and facilitate future research. In more
detail, H2FCEuropean Infrastructure general aims can be summarised as follows:
F To provide a single integrated virtual infrastructure to accommodate hydrogen and fuel cell
communities’ test and analysis facilities.
F To provide transnational access for the hydrogen and fuel cell research communities to member
state infrastructures.
F To create a number of expert working groups to enhance work at the provided facilities and to seek
more general coordination in the aspects safety, performance and durability.
F To provide central databases and libraries of safety, performance and durability data and modelling
codes.

hydrogen and fuel cell research, test and assessment facilities.
F To integrate, enhance and improve on the existing infrastructure.
F To coordinate actions with national and international bodies, with academic and industry demands.
F To complement the Joint Undertaking activities and facilitate tackling major research and
development relating bottlenecks in the field.
6. Marine & Offshore Renewable Energy
Marine and offshore renewable energy sources have the potential to make a significant contribution to the
increasing total global demand, as well as meeting targets for clean energy. However, the demanding
environment in which they are found presents great technological challenges for those who wish to develop
such sources.
Wave, tidal and offshore wind energy projects involve a wide range of disciplines and expertise. This
conference will bring together the industry stakeholders to provide a forum for discussion and a means of
professional development for those involved with using natural marine resources to generate energy.
4.2.1 Geographical Distribution

4.3 Conclusion: European RIs
The European RIs is very rich and dynamic into a global approach, which aims to create complementarity
between all the existing RIs in European area. The macro-level strategy which has been adopted by Europe
allows identifying areas research needs, areas RIs needs, existing RIs’s categories and needs, consequently
in a meso-level, national strategies were developed combining European and national needs in order to
implement shared and qualified RIs for European Area.
The European model is very important to follow up especially for the Maghreb area where RIs are under
developing.

5.3 Conclusion: Moroccan RIs
There is 113 RIs in Morocco in the field of RE & EE all around the country with more than 87 projects and
laboratories. Universities, engineering schools or new institutions are working on new R&D projects,
implementing new research centres, developing new research platforms, creating new data bases and
virtual or single sited competence networks in order to participate to a real development of renewable &
EE in the country.
This dynamic can be more efficient if the implementation of all RIs is happening into a national strategy,
which can optimise the existing and adopt the offer to real needs.

6 List of Existing Facilities in Tunisia
Unfortunately, only one institution “Tunisian research and Technology Center of Energy-CRTEn-” has
answered to our questionnaire and the study has been completed by a survey.
6.1.1 Categories
RIs in Tunisia are divided into 6 categories as follows:
Figure 18: Distribution of RIs per Category in Tunisia
Projects represent the majority part of Tunisian RIs with 41% followed by Laboratories with 18%.
This situation may be characterizing RIs in Maghreb. Laboratories were implemented in universities and
engineering schools which helped to create a critical mass in some research areas and consequently every
experts teams tried to develop new R&D projects and get funding from different national and international
programs.
Regarding the research areas, more than 50% of RIs are working on Ren without being able to precise
exactly the research area. However, 36% of Tunisian RIs are working on PV and Thermal Solar and 9%
leaded research in Bio energy area.

6.2 Conclusion: Tunisian RIs
The results of Tunisian case study show that there is similarity between Maghreb countries. Indeed, RIs is
based especially on projects and laboratories, which generate the creation of experts’ networks and teams
who work on research activities but in a Micro-level.

7 Conclusion
The development of research in a country or a specific area can’t be done without a qualified and
structured Research Infrastructures (RIs) which must be developed through a global or national strategy
that should take into consideration needs of the country, the development’s objectives for specific areas
and the existing RIs. The combination of all these elements is the main solution to develop qualified RIs.
The European model in implementing RIs represents the future of RIs’s situation in Maghreb and should be
followed in order to adapt RIs offers to needs and to optimize funding. This model can be implemented
through three levels:
1. Macro-level: represents national or regional level and give information about development
strategies, areas research priorities, research needs and also the researcher’s needs.
2. Meso-level: Can be a country if the first one is regional or a region if the macro level is a country.
This level can provide us with information about the existing RIs and the existing areas expertise.
3. Micro-level: can be cities, universities, research centres and inform us about the topics and
research activities which are developed in single sited laboratories specifying what kinds of
scientific equipment are used.
There is many RIs in the Maghreb (Morocco and Tunisia) without any national strategies which guide the RIs
implementation and development. Consequently, we have many similar RIs concentrated in specific
research areas when there is no offer to cover research needs in other research areas.
Referring to this study and results, there is some recommendations that should be taking into consideration
in order to ensure a real RIs development:
Recommendation 1: To identify regional/national strategic objectives in the field of renewable
energies and energy efficiency and the contribution of R&D to the achievement of these objectives.
This recommendation concerns the Macro-level which should be diagnosed in a detailed way in order to
identify the strategic objectives, the regional orientations, needs and potentials in terms of renewable
energies and energy efficiency.
Recommendation 2: Overview of RIs and competences mapping (region/national level)
The overview of the existing RIs and competences can contribute into the creation of competences poles. It
represents the Meso-level which should give information about the regional expertise, expertise areas,
research areas, existing RIs, quality and existing equipments.
Recommendation 3: Pooling of existing RIs within research platforms
This step aims to optimise existing RIs, expertise and competences through the creation of research
platforms, which can be single sited or distributed. They should be specific to identified topics, research
areas and needs (recommendation 1 and 2).
Recommendation 4: Promotion and funding of research platforms
The creation of good and qualified research platforms into a global and integrated strategy may help to the
development of regional research hub which can be promoted to international donors in order to get
enough funding through R&D projects, equipment donation.... etc.

9 Annex 2. MAGHRENOV QUESTIONNAIRE
QUESTIONNAIRE ON EXISTING FACILITIES ALONG WITH
THE ESFRI CLASSIFICATION SCHEME (RENEWABLE AND
ENERGY EFFICIENCY)
This questionnaire is developed in the framework of MAGHRENOV project and will contribute to collect
information about existing facilities or research infrastructure (RIs)* in the field of renewable and energy
efficiency in the Mediterranean region. The questionnaire includes the ESFRI classification of facilities and takes
into consideration the classification guidelines of ESFRI.
*RIs: Research Infrastructures. It refers to facilities, resources and related services used by the scientific
community and it may be ‘single-sited’ (a single resource at a single location), ‘distributed’ (a network of
distributed resources), or ‘virtual’ (the service is provided electronically).
