Inputs to iMarine SB call 09/01/2013 on Sustainability

Based on previous inputs to GA and Board2 meetings (Sept. 2012), the general directions for a business model in a medium term prospect are confirmed as being: 1) Fundamentally, D4ScienceAn e-Infrastructure operated by the D4Science.org initiative. / iMarine is a public funded initiative in support to science. There will be a need for public funding support beyond the end of iMarine (2014) over at least two further cycles (ie at least 4-6 years): the consortium (or those who wish to take part) will have to negotiate ‘big picture’ science interactions at EU level and move towards becoming all or part of a global platform, with a financing basis increasingly derived from regional, national and development programme funding linked to the value of its downstream products.

2) This publicly funded initiative relies on: a] a Public partnership model, with two envisaged levels: D4ScienceAn e-Infrastructure operated by the D4Science.org initiative. for the technology partners, and iMarine for the EA-CoPCommunity of Practice. partnership level (iMarine being one example of CoPCommunity of Practice., co-existing with other CoPs such as OpenBio) b] the prospect for a EU FP8 funding for consolidating the public partnership model, which could be orientated towards European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) as per indications provided at the "All EU marine knowledge meeting".


The public partnership model is to be understood as a non commercial exploitation, largely based on statements of converging interests, sense of shared purpose, or pursuance of synergetical goals among partners, on which basis in-kind or monetary resources are provided by the partners: each community brings resources (data, software, hardware, administration, networks, projects, ...) according to its own expertise, primary interest, and voluntary commitment.
