ATMO-ACCESS D8.1 A strategic access plan for access provision to atmospheric RIs_V2

V2: Following the final external review, the deliverable was corrected according to the recommendations.

The specific objective of Deliverable 8.1 is to propose a series of recommendations based on in-depth analysis of outcomes produced in ATMO-ACCESS and involving different RI communities to establish the optimal conditions for ensuring the long-term sustainability of the access provision beyond EU funding but also an optimal use of resources within ACCESS projects. D8.1 concentrates on the specific outcome of ATMO-ACCESS for the domain of Atmospheric Research. D8.1 integrates outcomes and experience gained from the other WPs – Joint Activities (JA, WP1-8), TA (WP9), VA (WP10) – into an overall access framework that will address all dimensions of access provision in the atmospheric RIs. It will be completed by Deliverable 8.2 that details a strategic access plan that extends its scope to incorporate insights from two additional Horizon 2020 pilot projects - ORP and NFFA. D8.1 and D8.2 are also completed by D8.3, not in the original plan of ATMO-ACCESS but which was requested after the mid-term review, as a basis for the Policy brief. D8.3 integrates recommendations relevant for both internal management of atmospheric infrastructure projects and for more generic access projects but focusing on co-funding aspects.
