MEDem Networks

As a European research infrastructure, MEDem connects long-term comparative (inter)national research groups and infrastructures in what we call the MEDem Networks. By that we want to enable comprehensive and highly innovative research on electoral democracies all over Europe.

As of now, becoming a MEDem Network would result in three main benefits:

• Concepts, operationalizations, or data developed or collected by a MEDem Network will have higher priority to us when it comes to making the research group, their work, and their data more findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable within the MEDem Framework.
• MEDem Networks will have representation in our governance structure and can (if wished so) make suggestions and voice concerns on the strategic direction of MEDem, particularly in decisions regarding standards in data documentation, harmonization, and interoperability.
• In more abstract terms, being part of the MEDem Networks will highlight the necessity towards funding institutions to support the research. More specifically, once MEDem (including its networks) will be an accredited infrastructure on the ESFRI Roadmap – it will be allowed to participate in specific Horizon Europe calls foreseen for European infrastructures.

To become part of the MEDem Networks, individuals representing long-term comparative (inter)national data collections, research groups, and infrastructures can apply by sending an email to info@medem.eu.
