DiSSCo Prepare Deliverable D7.2 - Draft Statutes and future milestones for the creation of DiSSCo ERIC

Abstract

After a thorough analysis of the various models suitable for establishing the DiSSCo RI as a legal entity, the conclusion arose that the most adequate model was the European Research Infrastructure Consortium (“ERIC”). The Statutes of several well established ERICs were compared and an initial draft of the Statutes was set up in order to feed the consultation of various groups of stakeholders: the partners of the task, the DiSSCo Coordination and Support Office, the DiSSCo National Nodes, and the country representatives participating to the Funders Forum. Several iterations lead to substantial improvements, reflecting what the DiSSCo community wants to do and how it will formally organize its activities and functioning to achieve the objectives. The current Deliverable presents the latest version to date of the draft Statutes of DiSSCo ERIC (December 2022) and the process that lead to it.
