RESILIENCE is entering a decisive new stage with the launch of its Transition to Implementation Project (RESILIENCE TIP), marking a major milestone in its development towards full operational status.

Horizon Europe

Funded under the Horizon Europe programme, RESILIENCE TIP will run from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2028, supported by a total EU contribution of € 1.63 million. The project builds on several successful earlier phases, including the Design, Early Stage Preparation, and Preparatory Phase, all of which received strong evaluations in terms of scientific excellence and implementation readiness.

TIP

The TIP (Transition to Implementation Project) represents a critical step toward the establishment of RESILIENCE as a fully operational European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC). Its objectives focus on four key priorities: securing long-term funding and establishing the ERIC legal entity, expanding and consolidating membership across Europe, finalising the technical infrastructure and service catalogue, and developing comprehensive access policies and user strategies.

By addressing both opportunities and challenges identified during the Preparatory Phase, RESILIENCE TIP aims to remove remaining barriers to implementation and ensure long-term sustainability.

13 Consortium Partners

The initiative brings together a diverse consortium of 13 core partners from across Europe, coordinated by FSCIRE – Fondazione per le scienze religiose (Italy), alongside the following institutions:

  • CINECA Consorzio Interuniversitario  (Italy)
  • École Pratique des Hautes Études (France)
  • FSCIRE Fondazione per le scienze religiose (Italy)
  • Institute für Angewandte Informatik (Germany)
  • KU Leuven (Belgium)
  • Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski (Bulgaria)
  • Theological University of Apeldoorn (The Netherlands)
  • Universitas Fabrefacta Optime, Albanian University (Albania)
  • University of Ljubljana (Slovenia)
  • University of Münster (Germany)
  • University of Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
  • Volos Academy (Greece)
  • X-Officio (Sweden)

The Institutions composing the consortium are a part of a larger network of institutions leading the scientific community towards the implementation and effective use of the infrastructure.

Results of TIP

Over the next two years, the project will deliver an integrated, distributed infrastructure, including a robust digital service catalogue, advanced IT architecture, and new tools supporting transnational and interdisciplinary research. It will also strengthen community engagement, support access for researchers, and promote open science and FAIR data principles.

The transition marks an important step toward creating a fully operational European research infrastructure that enhances access to religious studies resources, fosters international collaboration, and supports innovative research across the humanities and social sciences.
