Long-Term Sustainability Plan of PRP@CERIC Research Infrastructure

Abstract

The PRP@CERIC Long-Term Sustainability Plan guides the infrastructure’s development and operational continuity over five years, with annual reviews of priorities, resources and progress. Integrating scientific, technological, organisational, financial, environmental and social dimensions, the plan assesses strategic positioning, stakeholder needs and partnership opportunities. Key priorities include scientific excellence, service development, technology renewal and coordinated governance with the European RI CERIC-ERIC. Access for researchers and industry is supported by FAIR data management, digital transformation and staff training. An assessment of operating costs, funding sources and risks informs sustainability beyond PNRR funding, while indicators and regular monitoring guide decisions and track results.
