DiSSCo Prepare

With the official presentation of DiSSCo to the ESFRI community in September 2018 began the adequately titled Preparatory Phase. During this phase, DiSSCo raised its overall maturity and positioned itself to implement its construction programme. It did so by improving its overall readiness (IRL) of embarking on specific implementation actions and by delivering a comprehensive Construction Masterplan.

DiSSCo Prepare is the primary vehicle through which the DiSSCo Research Infrastructure (RI) raised its overall maturity to facilitate implementing construction from 2023 onwards. DiSSCo Prepare had two primary goals:

• Improve DiSSCo’s overall Implementation Readiness Level (IRL), that is, its ability to execute construction and effect related actions based on clear, actionable guidelines with minimum risk. DiSSCo Prepare contributed to raise DiSSCo’s IRL across five critical dimensions: scientific, technical, organizational, financial and data readiness.
• Deliver the DiSSCo Construction Masterplan.
