How to implement the changes


Add an installation / infrastructure
1.

Click the "Add Installation" button in the Infrastructures screen.

2.

Complete all fields in the pop up window that opens:

Access provider - select the access provider from the list of active beneficiaries, affiliated entities or associated partners. It can be the infrastructure owner or, if the owner of the infrastructure is another third party contributing resources, the beneficiary/affiliated entity who they are provided to (and who coordinates access to them). Associated partners must indicate “Actual Cost” (“Access” section) and put 0 in the “Total actual costs”.

Infrastructure Select an already declared infrastructure from drop down list or click "Add infrastructure" to declare a new infrastructure.

Installation - Add an installation to the infrastructure. An installation is a part or a service of an infrastructure that can be used independently from the rest. We number progressively the installations of a same infrastructure. 

Country - Select the country where the installation is located (No country if the infrastructure is an international organisation, ERIC, or similar legal entity with international membership). For mobile installations (e.g. a research vessel), give the country of its usual location (e.g. the homeport)

Access - define the access.

Type of access — can be:
- transnational/virtual access with access costs declared on the basis of unit cost
- transnational/virtual access with access costs declared as actual costs
- transnational/virtual access with access costs declared as a combination of actual costs and unit cost.

Access costs — Cost of the access provided under the project.

Total unit costs — For access costs on the basis of unit costs:

  • Multiply the amount per unit by the quantity of access to be provided.
  • Assure the consistency between "Financial Information" costs table and the "Infrastructures" table:
    • The value of "D.3 Transnationalaccess to research infrastructure unit costs" (in the "Financial Information" costs table) should be the same as the sum of all transnational access provision costs declared as unit costs (in the "Infrastructures" table).
    • The value of "D.4 Virtualaccess to research infrastructure unit costs " (in the "Financial Information" costs table) should be the same as the sum of all virtual access provision costs declared as unit costs (in the "Infrastructures" table).
