WP8 –TNA to Coastal Observatories
Objectives
• To enable Trans National and free-of-charge access to
original coastal infrastructures among those operated by
the JERICO project beneficiaries.
• To establish a long-term alliance between users and
JERICO partners, facilitating staff exchange and mutual
scientific collaboration.
• To build an European facility for Science dedicated to
innovation (new sensors, new automated platforms).
• To promote the infrastructure by transferring know-how from
partners to users, with a view to future expansion that will
include new partners (possibly also from non-EU countries).

JERICO WP8 – ACCESS to installations
• Accessing
an infrastructure/installation by a user/user group
generally means to collect specific data following the
implementation of a specific automated measuring system.
• Access modalities:
Remote user’s presence not required, an experiment is
implemented by the installation’s operator.
Partially remote user’s presence required at some
stage (e.g. while installing or un-installing).
"In person/hands-on" user’s presence is required
/recommended during the whole operation period.
• Specific and detailed modalities are defined in the G.A. per
class of infrastructure and/or per installation.
JERICO WP8 – ACCESS provision
Access is granted to user-projects, selected through international
calls by an independent panel of referees (Selection Panel)
a) the user group leader and the majority of the users must work in a
institution established in a Member State or Associated State;
b) the user group leader and the majority of the users work in a country
other than the country(ies) where the legal entity(ies) operating the
infrastructure is(are) established (TransNational Access). !NO for R.A.
c) priority should be given to user groups composed of users who have not
previously used the infrastructure, and are working in countries where no
such research infrastructures exist.
Access opportunities and calls for access will be widely publicised,
including on a dedicate Web page on the JERICO website.
Access provision will be documented by the access provider, to
support and justify the amount of access reported.

For whom who have to provide a CFS (audit):
You have to certify the actual access costs of the reporting period (or of
the 4-year project life-time if the real unit cost is calculated only at the end
of the last period).
Costs A, Costs B and E
If the installation is shared, H is shared too.
e.g, if it is shared by 2 users, to get I you must give H*2=100 days of
access

Questions?
JERICO WP8 – ACCESS to installations
The access is quantified by its duration, in principle corresponding to
the period of installing, operating and un-installing the measuring system.
This duration is measured in unit of access (UA).

The unit cost is the total eligible operational costs divided by the total
quantity of access (by internal and external users, supported by JERICO
or not).
The access cost (what the operator will have refunded by the project) is
lower if the installation is shared.
For example, if shared with a "permanent" user the actual duration
of access for JERICO is doubled to have the same final Access Cost
(equivalent to have half an unit cost)
