The Early Adopters Programme: Does your organisation struggle to archive and preserve research data?
The Early Adopters Programme In order to encourage wide deployment outside the Buyers Group of solutions developed during the project, ARCHIVER will engage with a group of “Early Adopters”. The Early Adopter programme is open to any public organisation having a need for innovative digital archiving and preservation solutions that the services resulting from the ARCHIVER project may address. Why join? By becoming an Early Adopter your institute will have the unique opportunity to: - Be consulted for feedback on the tender documents before its publication, scheduled on October 2019 - Access R&D materials produced by the ARCHIVER Contractors across all phases of the project - Access to limited capacity made available by the Buyers Group organisations at no cost, during the pilot phase to test the services developed - Benefit from the training sessions organised in the context of the project covering the solutions developed and aspects such as OAIS, FAIR, Open Data, etc. - Potentially profit from the same commercialisation conditions as the Buyers Group organisations participating in the project, in the case of purchase of services developed after the end of the project - Be able to use procurement funds foreseen in other EC projects in the EOSC context, on which the Early Adopter is member, in order to procure the resulting services developed in ARCHIVER.
