Each one links to its EU funding record and the partners it works with: a starting list for building a consortium.
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
The European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) brings together policy makers, funding bodies, and the scientific community to identify joint investment priorities for pan-European research infrastructures as well as to foster their implementation, sustainability and impact. A comprehensive and efficient support structure is essential for the effective execution of ESFRI's tasks and activities.
In this respect, the project should provide administrative support to the ESFRI Chair and the ESFRI Executive Board, and in particular, it should support ESFRI, the ESFRI working groups and other ESFRI bodies in carrying out all of the following activities:
The project should organise its workplan in a sufficiently flexible way so as to be able to adapt to changing support needs of ESFRI. A mechanism with ESFRI should be foreseen to ensure optimal adaptation to ESFRI’s needs over the course of the project.
All software developed under this destination should be open source, licensed under a CC0 public domain dedication or under an open source licence as recommended by the Free Software Foundation[1] and the Open Source Initiative[2].
Proposals could consider the inclusion of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) Support Services Directorate in their research infrastructure portfolio. The JRC offers its experience in assessing, setting the strategy, maintaining, operating and providing access to external researchers to its research infrastructures in various fields of science. The JRC is an ESFRI stakeholder and collaborates with several ESFRI/ERIC consortia as an associated partner. In this regard, the JRC will consider collaborating with any successful proposal.
