D-NA2.2a Progress Report of Project Networking and Collaboration Activities

Being a project strongly focused on integrating Europe's Research Infrastructures (RIs), ERIGrid 2.0 recognises the importance of connecting and networking with other actors. ERIGrid 2.0 consortium members are involved in other relevant projects and networks. This supports the project's objective to establish new connections and continue previous collaborations. In the current report, a number of collaboration activities of the ERIGrid 2.0 project are presented. The focus areas of these collaboration activities cover the entire scope of ERIGrid 2.0 research topics. Reported here are joint current or potential activities with projects, both national and international, as well as networks and platforms. Having collaborators on both international and national levels allows ERIGrid 2.0 to reach out to a broader audience. Several of the collaboration links were established during the predecessor project ERIGrid. With initial activities set up during the first project year, the project aims to intensify joint efforts in the next project years. Impacted by Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) related regulations, the ERIGrid 2.0 collaboration activities will have virtual focus and format until further notice
