BLUEPRINTS ELICITATION FRAMEWORK FOR AN OPEN ACCESS
PAN-EUROPEAN NEURO-IMAGING ONLINE CENTRE

Introduction. Recent infrastructural endeavours in the field of neuroscience aimed at data integration and sharing and availability of research output. This approach recognized that opening experimental results produces significant gains for science advancement. Nonetheless, this leaves a large part of the grassroots neuroscience community underutilized: access to neuroimaging infrastructures remains locally restricted, obstructing data acquisition and the means to investigate novel hypotheses.

Purpose. Within our paper we seek to address this gap by providing the blueprints for a delocalized e-neuroscience centre, opening the access to functional neuroimaging acquisition systems at a pan-European level. This aim will be achieved by building operational interoperability, standardizing, and integrating the services of neuroscience centres across Europe and the development of a virtual environment allowing all European researchers to acquire state-of-the-art neuroimaging data, exploiting the principles of the European Charter for Access to Research Infrastructures

Results. The implementation of all necessary actions for the harmonization and interoperability of the experimental procedures of the labs entail standardization of protocols, procedures in the form of consensus-based guidelines, harmonization of hardware and software set-up and availability across laboratories, as well as adopting of common standards and formats for acquired data and metadata structures.

Conclusion. Consistent and streamlined mobility processes aim to become a blueprint for networking of the overall neuroscience community. The harmonized process framework presented in this paper can facilitate better use from current and future neuroscience projects. Data economies of scale and recruitment streamlining will put local EU and international funds to better use than the now dispersed efforts. This will lead to more successful projects and better pacing for EU neuroscientific communities in the international stage.

Keywords: multi-centre interoperability, operational harmonisation, neuroimaging, sharing infrastructures, open access framework.
