16 partners from 12 countries distributed all over Europe cooperate in the project. All partners have leading DER expertise as well as exceptional and supplementary DER research infrastructures and facilities. In addition to internal Networking Activities and Joint Research Activities, DERri provides European researchers (normally joined in User Groups) the opportunity to develop their own research projects through the Transnational Access (TA) to the DERri consortium’s Research Infrastructures (RI) – free of charge, supported by the European Commission, thus adding new and valuable knowledge to their research. Project applications, proposing the utilisation of the DERri consortium’s RI, will be selected by a Selection Commission through a transparent process based on defined merit criteria.

The free-of-charge access will include transport, accommodation, RI access and access assistance – to be agreed on and specified between the parties.
