The following additional eligibility criteria apply, due to the specific nature of this topic:

Access provision activities must be included in the proposal. Please read carefully the provisions under the section “Specific features for Research Infrastructures” at the end of this work programme part before preparing your application.

Consortia must include at least 3 different research infrastructures from 3 different Member states or Associated countries, each of them being an ESFRI infrastructure, and/or a European Research Infrastructures Consortium (ERIC) or another research infrastructure of European interest (i.e. a research infrastructure which is able to attract users from EU or associated countries other than the country where the infrastructure is located). Such research infrastructures, and the beneficiaries that own/operate them, must be explicitly identified in the proposals.

Considering the Union’s interest to make accessible to its researchers the most advanced research infrastructures, wherever they are in the world, legal entities established in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, India, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Switzerland, United Kingdom and USA, which provide, under the grant, access to their research infrastructures to researchers from Member States and Associated Countries, are exceptionally eligible for funding from the Union under this topic.

National or international access programme managers, including the legal entities of distributed European RI, are expected to be core partners in the consortia.
