Summary
This topic aims at providing trans-national access 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. Such 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, 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.
Detailed Call Description
In 2021, the scientific domains called under this topic are:
- Geosphere, including geo-hazards and geo-resources;
- Biosphere: terrestrial biodiversity and ecosystems, including Arctic and forest;
- Particle and nuclear physics.
Data management, interoperability, as well as the connection of digital services to the European Open Science Cloud, should be addressed where relevant.
Proposals should duly take into account major European or international initiatives relevant in the domain. Proposals should involve, as beneficiaries or as third parties, the necessary interdisciplinary set of research infrastructures of European interest that provide such services. The inclusiveness of the proposal will be taken into account in the Excellence score. Proposals including only few of the research infrastructures services relevant to the scope will be scored lower. Proposals in the Geosphere domain could consider, for their inclusion in the service portfolio, relevant services and expertise offered by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC), and in particular by its European Laboratory for Structural Assessment (ELSA), for testing full-scale large structures under earthquakes and other threats to structural stability.
