Call
Detailed Call Description
Proposals should address issues specific to research infrastructures, such as the promotion of trans-national and virtual access opportunities, including specific activities targeting widening countries, and the awareness of the access provision rules. Cooperation with other policy and international cooperation oriented measures for research infrastructures and synergies with other NCPs networks is encouraged. The consortium should have a good representation of experienced and less experienced NCPs. Special attention should be given to enhancing the competence of NCPs, including helping less experienced NCPs rapidly acquire the know-how built up in other countries.
