Scope

Expected Outcome: Project results are expected to contribute to several of the following expected outcomes: better structured and strengthened European research infrastructure landscape; new services available to a wider user community, including participants in other parts of Horizon Europe, allowing to better tackle scientific and societal challenges; increased capacity to address EU policy priorities and/or socio-economic challenges; reinforced global competitiveness of the European Research Area; reduction of environmental (including climate-related) impacts as well as optimisation of resource and energy consumption integrated through the full life cycle of research infrastructures; increased long-term sustainability of European research infrastructures. Scope: This topic targets the consolidation of the EU research infrastructures landscape through the support, together with the countries that are members of the research infrastructures, to the strengthening, long-term sustainability, reorientation or evolution of ESFRI Landmarks or European Research Infrastructure Consortia (ERICs). The proposed action should justify the specific objectives and focus on activities that are critical for the sustainability and optimised use of the ESFRI Landmarks or ERICs, such as activities aiming at several of the following objectives: enlargement of the membership or broadening of the base of participating countries, notably widening countries and candidate countries; addressing critical aspects raised following an assessment or monitoring exercise, e.g. in the context of ESFRI activities; reinforcing international cooperation; revision of business/funding plan; development of managerial and technical skills for research infrastructure staff; structuring and strengthening of national/thematic nodes; extension of remote and/or virtual access; management of research data according to the FAIR principles; reorientation or evolution of the research infrastructure scope; development, update and or implementation of impact assessment of the research infrastructure. In case of reorientation or evolution of the research infrastructure scope, activities should fill gaps in the research infrastructures landscape [1] , enabling the research infrastructure to address new research or societal challenges and/or serve new user communities, increasing and improving service capacity and/or integrating new resources/facilities. Due attention must be given to related EU initiatives, strategies and priorities and, when relevant, to complementarity and relevance to activities in other…

Who coordinated them

Coordinating an EU project is a demanding, specific job. These organisations have done it on this topic line before.

This is the shape, not the consortium. It says how many partners these projects had and what kinds of organisation were in them. It does not know whether your idea needs the same mix, who is available, who is already committed elsewhere, or how the work and the budget should be divided. Those are judgement calls on a specific proposal, and no amount of public data answers them.

Building the actual consortium — finding the partners, agreeing the roles, and writing it so it survives an evaluation — is what Scientific Network Management does. Free either way; the radar does not change if you never ask.

Found one worth pursuing?

Finding the call is the easy half. Scientific Network Management is the grant-writing practice behind this radar — 13 years of writing and managing EU-funded research projects, including two EuropeAid technical assistance contracts building biotechnology centres in Türkiye as Team Leader.
