Provides a systematic account of the major technical, administrative and legal requirements for registering a product in any of the national markets within the EEC, using the existing procedures, with guidance as to how these procedures are likely to change after 1992

The ExPaNDS project is a collaboration between 10 national Photon and Neutron Research Infrastructures (PaN RIs) as well as EGI. The project aims to deliver standardised, interoperable, and integrated data sources and data analysis services for Photon and Neutron facilities, within the context of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). As part of its programme, it is considering how to enable and promote the generation and use of FAIR data within facilities' processes (work package 2), and the harmonisation of tools and processes for data cataloguing and management (work package 3). WP2 and WP3 are conducting a landscape analysis in order to establish a baseline on the current state of the 10 participating institutions on FAIR data policies and data management practises. This activity can be compared with a similar activity which was undertaken within the PaNOSC project, which covers the transnational (ESFRI) facilities in the same domain. This baseline can then be used to steer the subsequent activity of the project and to assess its impact. This report summarises the results of a survey of the 10 participating institutes which was undertaken in December 2019. ; ExPaNDS has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 857641.

The effective preservation of both current and historical scientific data will underpin a multitude of ecological, economic and political decisions that shape the future of our society. The SCIDIP-ES project addresses the long-term preservation of the knowledge encoded in scientific data by providing preservation e- infrastructure services which support the persistent storage, access and management needs. Using exemplars from the Earth Science domain we highlight the key preservation challenges and barriers to be overcome by the SCIDIP-ES infrastructure. SCIDIP-ES augments existing science data e-infrastructures by adding specific services and toolkits which implement core preservation concepts, thus guaranteeing the long-term access and exploitation of data assets across and beyond their designated communities.
