Summary
This topic aims at providing 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.
Detailed Call Description
In 2023, the scientific domains called under this topic are:
- Biosphere: terrestrial biodiversity and ecosystems, including forest;
- Astronomy and Astroparticle physics;
- Arts and Humanities.
The main goal of this topic is access provision to existing services, limited development of new services, relevant to specific scientific challenges in the identified domains, can also be supported, including joint/cross-RI services, provided that the resulting services are opened and offered already under the actions (short term R&D) and that the long term sustainability of such services is ensured by the participant RIs.
Access includes ad hoc users’ training and scientific and technical support. Training courses for using the infrastructures may also be supported. Training courses and ad hoc users’ training will prepare the new generations of researchers to properly exploit leading-edge RIs, and should provide them with appropriate skills for data stewardship.
Proposals should make available to researchers a very wide and comprehensive portfolio of complementary research infrastructure services, including data services, which are relevant for frontier research in the domain.
