Impact Funding Resources
RDA Europe, under the umbrella of the RDA TIGER project, is currently running an open call for Cascading Grant proposals. Cascading Grants are a European Commission mechanism that aims to distribute public funding to assist beneficiaries in the uptake or development of innovative outputs. With these grants, RDA Europe hopes to enhance the activities of RDA Working Groups through the adoption and further development of Working Group outputs. With a focus on outputs that lead to impact on the Open Science landscape, the Cascading Grants will ultimately contribute to the interoperability of Open Science solutions within the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
