1. JERICO WP8 Trans National Access to Coastal Observatories Stefania Sparnocchia with IBWPAN, NIVA, OGS, HCMR, NERC, HZG, CSIC, INSU/CNRS

2. WP8 –TNA to Coastal ObservatoriesObjectives 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). 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).

5. ACCESS to installations JERICO WP8 – ACCESS to installations Specific and detailed modalities are defined in the G.A. per class of infrastructure and/or per installation. Access modalities: Remote Remote user’s presence not required, an experiment is implemented by the installation’s operator. Partially remote Partially remote user’s presence required at some stage (e.g. while installing or un-installing). "In person/hands-on" "In person/hands-on" user’s presence is required /recommended during the whole operation period. Accessing an infrastructure/installation by a user/user group generally means to collect specific data following the implementation of a specific automated measuring system.

6. 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, Access provision will be documented by the access provider, to support and justify the amount of access reported.

17. Estimated/Real access cost calculation 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 C. Indirect eligible costs = 7% x ([A-A’]+B)55,776 D. Total estimated/real access eligible costs = A+B+C 902,576 E. Total estimated/real quantity of access provided to all normal users of the infrastructure (i.e. both internal and external) within the project life-time 1,460 F.

27. Access cost calculation days 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) C. Indirect eligible costs = 7% x ([A-A’]+B)55,776 D. Total estimated access eligible costs = A+B+C902,576 E.
