ACCESS2ACCESS: Shaping the Future EU Access Pathways for Research Infrastructures

Objective

ACCESS2ACCESS lays the foundations for a future European access framework enabling world-class research through open, integrated and sustainable use of Research Infrastructures (RIs). It unites leading RIs across domains to address a core need: making access discoverable, inclusive, fair, efficient, scalable and adaptable, while aligning with ERA priorities, the European Charter for Access to RIs and the next MFF/FP10. The project directly supports the European Strategy on Research and Technology Infrastructures (2025), which calls for integrated “one-stop” access, AI-assisted navigation, simplified and sustainable funding models, and stronger EU–national coherence across infrastructures.

Researchers struggle to identify and utilise RI capabilities in Europe’s fragmented landscape due to unfamiliarity with RI terminology or structures, resulting in missed opportunities to leverage the diverse RI portfolio.

ACCESS2ACCESS builds on lessons from INFRA-IA and INFRA-SERV, best practices from operational RIs and gap analyses to: (1) build a robust evidence base by analysing national and European schemes; (2) capture stakeholder and user needs through consultations, deep dives and policy dialogues; (3) co-design governance, funding and policy models aligned with the RI Access Charter; (4) develop a conceptual AI-assisted single-entry discovery model to harmonise the user journey; (5) maximise uptake, impact and policy embedding through dissemination, stakeholder communication and exploitation planning; and (6) ensure coordination, ethics and compliance through GDPR- and AI-ethics-aligned oversight and an Advisory Board.

Combining evidence-gathering, stakeholder co-creation, policy and governance modelling, concept prototyping and a multi-layered engagement structure—Executive Team, Supporting and Consultation Network, Advisory Board—along with dissemination, clustering and early policy engagement will ensure visibility, uptake and long-term impact.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
