SUPPORT CENTER FOR MANAGEMENT AND PROMOTION IN SERVICE OF EUROPEAN RESEARCH PROJECTS
Abstract
The Remote Sensing department from National Institute of R&D for Optoelectronics INOE, Romania, operates a complex research infrastructure and has multidisciplinary expertise spanning from laboratory/in-situ chemical analysis to Earth Observation (EO) techniques and applications. Infrastructure and personnel are mostly supported from projects financed by European Commission through FP7/Horizon 2020 (ended programs) and Horizon Europe (current programme) and other international calls (e.g., European Space Agency). In order to facilitate support of R&D projects submission/execution/reporting to Horizon Europe framework program competitions and other international calls, INOE is building a dedicated center until mid-2023, through PREPARE project - -Support Center for European Project Management and European Promotion-, funded under the Competitiveness Operational Program (2014- 2020), the action 1.1.3 "Creating synergies with the RDI actions of the European Union's HORIZON 2020 framework program and other international RDI programs". This work presents the results of our journey of drawing the main components of the management and promotion center that will mainly support large projects related to ACTRIS - Aerosol, Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure (ACTRIS). The center is intended to guide and support scientists- approach from idea to grant negotiation stages and also to project implementation and reporting.
