In-Kind Additional Activities (2023) of the EOSC Partnership

This paper documents the volume of in-kind additional-activity contributions by the EOSC Partnership, for the year 2023, which amounted to €321,844,688. Adding this sum to the amount of contributions  reported in the previous year (€292.162.962, in 2022), the value of the in-kind contributions by the EOSC Association Members largely surpassed the target volume of five-hundred million Euros, to be reached by 2030, already in the year 2023.

The EOSC Association and its Members have committed to co-finance the HE co-programmed EOSC Partnership by  providing In-Kind contributions, in the form of Additional Activities (AA), for a value of €500 million, over the period of duration of the Partnership, betweeen 2021 and 2030. These activities would complement the European Commission’s (EC) financial support to the EOSC Partnership, under Horizon Europe (HE). In order to be elegible, these contributions would align with the objectives outlined in the EOSC Strategic Research and Inovation Agenda (SRIA) and with the provisions set out in the Partnership’s Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

The In-Kind Additional Activities (IKAA) of the EOSC Partnership are monitored annually through the Additional-Activity Report, which is structured around nine high-level monitoring categories: 1: Support for additional R&I; 2: Scaling up technologies; 3: Demonstrators; 4: Creating new business opportunities; 5: Training & skills development; 6: Contribution to new standards, regulations, and policies; 7: Supporting ecosystem development; 8: Communication, dissemination, awareness-raising, and citizen engagement; 9: Other. 

The IKAA are reported to the European Commission,  through an electronic interface 'the IKAA IT Tool', which facilitates the standardised reporting of in-kind contributions from all the HE co-programmed and institutionalised Partnerships.
