CALL FOR PROPOSALS: RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURES SERVICES ADVANCING FRONTIER KNOWLEDGE
Description
The European Commission has announced a grant program with aim to provide trans-national access (on-site or remote) and/or virtual access to integrated and customised RI services for curiosity-driven research in wide scientific domains, offered by a wide range of complementary and interdisciplinary top level research infrastructures.
Benefit
Funding Information
Grant amount is equal to or greater than EUR 500 000 except for:
public bodies (entities established as a public body under national law, including local, regional or national authorities) or international organisations; and
cases where the individual requested grant amount is not more than EUR 60 000 (lowvalue grant).
Eligibility
- Proposals should include an outreach plan to actively advertise its services to targeted research communities and, if applicable, to relevant industries, including SMEs.
Proposal are expected to exploit synergies and to ensure complementarity and coherence with other EU grants supporting access provision.
Training for using the infrastructures, and activities to improve, customise and harmonise the services the infrastructures provide, so as to facilitate and integrate the access procedures, and to further develop the remote or virtual provision of services may also be supported.
Scientific domains are identified on the basis of a Multi-Annual Priority Setting (MAPS) exercise aiming at achieving a balanced coverage of scientific disciplines addressed under the INFRASERV destination as well as complementarities with Horizon 2020 ongoing grants offering access provision. Within identified domains, emerging areas of research can also be served. The MAPS follows the taxonomy used in the ESFRI Roadmap.
Expected Outcomes
Project results are expected to contribute to all the following expected outcomes:
wider, simplified, and more efficient access to the best research infrastructures available to researchers to conduct curiosity-driven research, irrespective of location;
breakthrough and leading-edge research enabled by advanced research infrastructure services made available to a wider user community;
improved and harmonised RI services and broader use of RI resources across Europe deriving from the exploitation of synergies and complementarities;
