GSS EU Science Funding Gateway

The CSA shall provide advice and coordination services at SNS programme level e.g. in relevant SNS Working Groups and liaise with the SNS flagship initiatives and projects, and with the relevant CSAs – notably by cooperating with the existing and future SNS CSAs, the SNS JU office and the SNS JU private side – to exploit synergies.

Considering the strategic support nature of the CSA, the CSA partners should demonstrate a strong capability to mobilise strategic scientific and interdisciplinary expertise on a broad range of societal issues as well as relevant EU legislation and guidance, and a strong understanding of the telecommunication sector, and be able to liaise with and leverage upon existing relevant international and European authorities, committees, working groups and experts groups around the issues of acceptability, inclusiveness, security and sustainability of next generation smart networks and services.

Τhe specific tasks and methodology of the CSA and the expertise needed (i.e. within the fields of technology, health, security, environment, social sciences, communication and media and economics) should be defined by focusing on concrete topical problems/questions.
