Large-Scale Research Infrastructure Access Pilots
Funds €35M pilots that make cross-domain research infrastructure access simpler, wider and more sustainable.
This pilot action tests a more integrated European access programme for research infrastructures. A core of state-of-the-art facilities should offer trans-national, remote or virtual access, while on-demand third-party providers expand the portfolio for interdisciplinary user projects. The programme should make it easier for researchers and innovators to discover services, apply through converging…
Test large-scale access programmes that combine trans-national, remote and virtual access to complementary research infrastructures across ESFRI scientific domains. Explicitly address one area: Area 1 physical sciences and engineering plus data, computing and digital infrastructures; Area 2 health and food plus social sciences and humanities; or Area 3 environment plus energy. Include at least two ESFRI Landmarks or ERICs, core and on-demand third-party access providers, user training, FAIR data and interoperable services, and an access portal that can converge with the wider European scheme.
