Periodic Reporting for period 1 - JERICO-DS (Joint European Research Infrastructure of Coastal Observatories - Design Study)
Période du rapport: 2020-10-01 au 2022-03-31
The JERICO-DS, Joint European Research Infrastructure for Coastal Observatories - Design Study, project will study the design of a state-of-the-art, fit-for-purpose and visionary observational European Research Infrastructure, that will provide expertise and high-quality data on European coastal and shelf seas, supporting world-class research, high-impact innovation and European excellence worldwide.
This Design Study is based on nations’ involvement to co-construct the JERICO research infrastructure from the scientific and technical design to the business plan and governance to support their future engagement towards a Preparatory Phase.
This work will be led in line with national visions and assets. It will consider the strategies of already nationally accredited coastal RIs and of the ones in progress to draw commonalities and complementarities to maximise the added value of JERICO-RI as a EU system. As well, it will investigate the possible co-construction with other RIs, as nations are willing to join RIs effort.
