Document describing the criteria for selecting potential new partner institutions (either from a new Country, thus establishing a new National Node, or from an existing Node)

Document describing the definition of the operational framework, with the overall working model and organisational structure of METROFOOD-RI as distributed RI, to report on the criteria regulating the role and the organisation of the Central Hub, together with the plans for its functionality and a specific risk analysis.

Report describing the role and internal organization of the National Nodes (NNs), considering them as centres of expertise hosting the distributed facilities involved in the infrastructure operation.

Report describing the technical concepts and requirements of the facilities included in the physical component of METROFOOD-RI, with specific reference to the “Metro side”, focusing on: i) plants for Reference Material production, and ii) Analytical Laboratories.

Report describing the technical concepts and requirements of the facilities included in the physical component of METROFOOD-RI, with specific reference to the “Food side”, focusing on: (i) facilities for primary production (FdPrim) and (ii) facilities for food processing and kitchen-labs (FdProc).

Report including the plans for upgrading of the “metro side” physical facilities of METROFOOD-RI and an examination of the capacities and opportunities for the technical implementation of the facilities in support to service provision

Report including the plans for upgrading of the “metro side” physical facilities of METROFOOD-RI and an examination of the capacities and opportunities for the technical implementation of the facilities in support to service provision based on two sector-oriented case studies as examples of interoperable collaboration within the RI

Report including the plans for technical implementation and future operation of the physical infrastructure of METROFOOD-RI covering both the “Metro” and the “Food” side, discussing the potential for integrated operation of the infrastructure to address the key global societal challenges and the European Green Deal objectives under the perspective of the future METROFOOD ERIC.

Document containing the Data Management Plan (DMP) for the METROFOOD-PP project, addressing what and how data - including metadata - will be generated, collected, handled and preserved in repositories following the FAIR principle (findable, accessible, interoperable and re-useable) as good as possible.

Document specifying the architecture of the electronic part of METROFOOD-RI and describing the work that was already done to implement this architecture. The electronic architecture follows the physical architecture in which facilities are distributed between the partner institutions.

Report on the plans for technically implementing the electronic component of METROFOOD-RI considering both hardware and software needs. Plans and e-needs are detailed for the Central Hub, the National Nodes and the partner institutions in view of the ERIC set up and infrastructure operation.

Report on the data exchange model and Advanced Programme Interfaces (API) definition covering all the domains of interest for METROFOOD-RI, with definition of a common map of data domains.
