CESSDA SaW D4.7: Report summarising the current state of needs of new data services

This report is one of the results of the CESSDA SaW (Strengthening and widening) project task 4.5 - Strengthening and widening through establishing a CESSDA partner network of established non-member data services to support processes of integration into CESSDA membership and establish a wide collaborative environment among European data service. The first goal of the task 4.5 was to discover and monitor the capacities of European data services outside the current CESSDA ERIC membership. In relation to the task 4.5 two main objectives were discussed and met at the collaborative workshops during the CESSDA SaW project. The first objective was to establish an informal collaborative network of current and potential CESSDA partners. The second objective was to collect information regarding the needs of possible future cooperation. Using the information from the non-CESSDA member data services, deliverable D4.7 summarises the current state and needs of these data services and examines them on four main levels: the technical level, the human-resources level, the legal and the political framework of the data services.
