Key considerations will be:
- understanding the full provision of all services offered by each project;
- a process for the audit of services;
- methods for maintaining services technically (updates, further development);
- future H2020 calls relevant to sustainability (e.g. INFRAIA-01-2018-2019: Integrating Activities for Advanced Communities, 2019 deadline, for iNEXT2);
- routes to sustainability: Instruct-ERIC, other options.
