This deliverable provides the guidelines for harmonizing policies and procedures for physical, remote, and hybrid service provision within the IRISCC project. Based on a preliminary analysis of current access modalities across various Research Infrastructures (RIs) involved in the project, it aims to support establishments of common access practices to optimize Transnational Access (TA) management in Work Package (WP) 8 and TA provision in WP10, ensuring user’s to experience uniform, simplified, and efficient access to advanced RIs’ services.
The five key areas in which harmonisation is advisable and should be implemented are identified in access policies, application and selection processes, evaluation criteria, user support services, and user obligations. Possible harmonisation measures are suggested for each area and an implementation plan is proposed to guide the integration with WP8, outlining the timetable and procedures, including defining the IRISCC Access Program, creating an International Assessment Panel, optimizing the TA management tool, defining the TA user support and feedback system, and customizing the TA management tool.
