  10. Some notes on Starting Communities… Call 1 - Developing new world-class research infrastructures “INFRADEV” • Need for a data management plan: integrating activities (IAs) should also organise the efficient curation, preservation and provision of access to the data collected/produced under the project • Opting out of the pilot on open research data is optional but note that it will likely be mandatory in future FPs (FP9) • IAs should contribute to fostering the potential for innovation (including social innovation) of research infrastructures by reinforcing the partnership with industry • IAs are expected to take into account relevant ESFRI and other world-class research infrastructures to exploit synergies • 2-stage Call • Awards will be up to €5M per successful proposal • With both Adv & Str communities Ireland has a number of examples. So contact me if you want to discuss specifics or get advice regarding either.
