Transitioning NH institutions to molecular & digital
![Page 15: DiSSCo institutional benefits](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030318/5a6d074f7f8b9a22428b49f9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Transnational
Access improves
accessibility of natural
history collections
through funded physical
access to
collections/expertise and
facilities.
Joint Research
Activities improve
access to data stored
digitally within NH
collections by extracting
and enhancing data from
digitised collections.
Network Activities deliver collection
management policies, best
practice models, unified
standards and protocols for
new and emerging
collections.
Objectives
Draft INFRAIA-01– 2018/19–H2020: Call for NH community, aligned to DiSSCo
![Page 16: DiSSCo institutional benefits](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030318/5a6d074f7f8b9a22428b49f9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
1. Better return on investment, minimising overlapping tasks between
institutions and countries and creating a common knowledge base;
2. Ability to influence the agenda of DiSSCo at central level (participating
in the decision making processes);
3. Improve coordination of cross institutional funding applications, with
better alignment to institutional priorities;
4. Strengthen their case at national level on the value of collections, and
thus be in a better position to attract more funding.
Added value for institutional partners
