Introduction
Trans National Access (TNA) and Virtual Access (VA) are financial instruments to reimburse the access provisioning costs to access providers. Information about TNA and VA is provided in Article 16 of the AGA – Annotated Model Grant Agreement . These instruments are provided by the EC to increase the sharing of research infrastructures and services that otherwise would not be available to international user groups.
In TNA and VA the services – also called “installations” – have to be made available ‘free of charge’ at the point of use for European or International researchers.
TNA access requires a process to select users normally based on scientific excellence. TNA compensates for the logistical, technological and scientific support and the specific training that is usually provided to external researchers using the infrastructure.
VA access is open and free access to services through communication networks to resources needed for research, without selecting the researchers to whom access is provided.
