The management of Transnational Access services is further described and prepared in our latest deliverable D2.5, the TNA Services Management Plan.
Acessibility has been flagged by RESILIENCE as a key need of researchers. Transnational Access (TNA) aims to answer to the need of scholars to have direct and effective access to sources located in different countries. TNA was offered as an in-kind service during the Preparation Phase (2022-2026). Within the complete Service Strategy, TNA will function as a core service, to be fully coordinated and managed by RESILIENCE Headquarters.
Deliverable D2.5, the TNA Service Management Plan, outlines the TNA Programme from a management perspective once RESILIENCE transitions towards an ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium). The plan assumes funded scholarships in its implementation phase.
It is the combination of digital and physical access to data that is and will remain essential for comprehensive multidisciplinary and multilingual research in the study of religion. Providing only digital data and tools excludes sources as well as specific contents, expressive forms and particular disciplines of the study of religion and does not enable holistic research. Via its TNA Programme, RESILIENCE aims to build this bridge between digital and physical access.
The TNA Service Management Plan describes among others criteria of excellence for TNA hosts and TNA fellows, workflows, financial aspects, longterm strategies etc.
