GN4 Phase 1 Preparation

NORDUnet input for GN4, phase 1

GN4 phase 1 is the first year of the 7 year GN4 project.  It is expected that

• The first year will run under the Framework Partnership Umbrella (FPA)
• Will be funded with ~25 M€.
• As it is just one year, will be a bridge between GN3+ and GN4
• WIll have the same basic structure as GN3+ - same high-level activities, same activity leaders, etc
• It is expected that a significant number of GN3+ activities will be extended for an extra year
• New ctivities should be one year only, i.e., be able to start and reach a reasonable delivery in a single year.

GN4 phase 1 idea process

New Idea NIFs from Nordic NRENs and NORDUnet has now been submitted (31 January 2014).  In addition, nordic activity leaders in SA2, SA3, SA5, JRA1 have submitted NIFs on behalf of their existing activities.

Thanks a lot to all who contributed.
