WP8 TNA: Access to Russian RI

Objectives
This WP will contribute to overcoming the barriers that prevent European scientists from accessing Russian Research Infrastructures (RIs) by:

• identifiying access mechanisms to Russian RIs of interest to European scientists
• supporting Russian facilities in setting-up the appropriate access conditions
• setting up a helpdesk and covering the travel and subsistence costs of European researchers accessing Russian RIs

A particular focus will be on the recommendation list of 11 priority RIs provided by the Russian Federation (LIST-11).
