RESILIENCE is entering a decisive new stage with the launch of its Transition-to-Implementation Project (RESILIENCE TIP), marking a major milestone in its development towards full operational status.
Funded under the Horizon Europe programme, RESILIENCE TIP (Project No. 101291621) will run from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2028, supported by a total EU contribution of € 1.63 million. The project builds on several successful earlier phases, including the Design, Early Stage Preparation, and Preparatory Phase, all of which received strong evaluations in terms of scientific excellence and implementation readiness.
The TIP (Transition to Implementation Phase) represents a critical step toward the establishment of RESILIENCE as a fully operational European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC). Its objectives focus on four key priorities: securing long-term funding and establishing the ERIC legal entity, expanding and consolidating membership across Europe, finalising the technical infrastructure and service catalogue, and developing comprehensive access policies and user strategies.
By addressing both opportunities and challenges identified during the Preparatory Phase, RESILIENCE TIP aims to remove remaining barriers to implementation and ensure long-term sustainability.
The initiative brings together a diverse consortium of 13 core partners from across Europe, coordinated by FSCIRE (Italy), alongside following leading institutions:
This strong international collaboration reflects RESILIENCE’s ambition to serve a broad and interdisciplinary research community.
Over the next two years, the project will deliver an integrated, distributed infrastructure, including a robust digital service catalogue, advanced IT architecture, and new tools supporting transnational and interdisciplinary research. It will also strengthen community engagement, support access for researchers, and promote open science and FAIR data principles.
The transition marks an important step toward creating a fully operational European research infrastructure that enhances access to religious studies resources, fosters international collaboration, and supports innovative research across the humanities and social sciences.
