D1.3 Financial Sustainability Plan

Deliverable 1.3 presents the Financial Sustainability Plan (FSP)forthe RESILIENCE Implementation Phase proposed by WP1, Sustainability, to the General Assembly of RESILIENCE PPP. The work on the RESILIENCE FSP lays the groundwork for discussion with consortium partners and the future ERIC’s member states on steps to be taken at all levels to ensure the RI's sustainability in the medium and long term.

Therefore, the RESILIENCE FSP intends to outline short- and long-term strategies supporting the sustainability of the RESILIENCE activities, its nodes and services. It focuses on securing the continuity of RESILIENCE's operations in the transition between the Preparatory Phase (PP) and the Implementation Phase (IP) and for the Implementation Phase as a whole. 

This is of relevance as the transition from the PP to the IP will be characterized by the establishment of RESILIENCE as an ERIC.
