Description

This funding opportunity under Horizon Europe aims to strengthen the international dimension of European research infrastructures, particularly those on the ESFRI Roadmap and ERICs, by fostering cooperation with non-European counterparts. Projects should focus on building sustainable, long-term partnerships that enhance the global competitiveness and performance of the European Research Area. Key objectives include developing joint activities, improving data sharing and access for European researchers, fostering global interoperability, and exchanging best practices in research infrastructure management.

Proposals should outline shared objectives, governance arrangements for collaboration, and address long-term sustainability, including agreements on data sharing and co-financing reciprocal activities. The initiative encourages responsible internationalisation, considering research security and the EU benefit of contributions from non-associated third countries.
