Terms and Conditions for service provision

For successful projects, the canSERV project Coordinator and partner infrastructures can use the title and the short description of the project, to promote the activities taking place within canSERV. Successful projects may also be invited to contribute towards scientific highlights and success stories resulting from their work.
The duration of stay at a research infrastructure must normally be limited to three months. There is a possibility that the completion of the service provision might take more than three months in case it does not affect a longer physical stay, and in case it is indicated and justified clearly in the application. 

Results and/or data obtained from using the services provided under the Call for Service Provision must comply with the FAIR principles and will be shared initially with two ongoing initiatives within EU Cancer Mission, EOSC4Cancer and, when established, with UNCAN.eu, for the development and improvement of further services. Furthermore, the results and/or data will be reused within the canSERV project or other EU Cancer Mission initiatives at a certain time after service provision according to the canSERV user agreement.  The data generated will then be included in the canSERV service list to support the canSERV Catalogue of Open Digital Research Services. 

If the results and/or data are published, canSERV must be acknowledged in publications. Only user groups that are allowed to disseminate the results they have generated may be eligible for access (unless the users are working for SMEs)

Successful projects agree to assist the canSERV Consortium members by providing reports on project progress and feedback on the project and canSERV processes when requested.

According to the Horizon rules, transnationality means scientists can only apply for TNA services outside of their home country.
