In accordance with the agreement on the establishment of the LifeWatch-SI consortium, the headquarters of the Karst Research Institute (IZRK) at ZRC SAZU is an organisational centre, a carrier institution providing services defined by LifeWatch-ERIC and, in agreement with the Management Board, enabling successful implementation of the infrastructure.
Each partner in the research infrastructure contributes data resources, applications and tools, and has the ability to access data and infrastructure in a transparent and non-discriminatory way. Priority is given to resources with free and open access, but existing licenses are considered.
Members promote the use of appropriate standards in resource design, application and tool design regarding the use of LifeWatch-ERIC services, collecting feedback and taking note of requirements.
Partners are integrated in the international research sphere, with international exchanges and reciprocal hosting of researchers.
