Remote NMR (R-NMR): Moving NMR infrastructures to remote access capabilities

核磁共振波谱是应用于所有化学、物理、生物和医学科学的主要分析方法之一。核磁共振的领先地位源于其在分子分辨率、定量、重复性和广泛的应用范围方面的分析能力。它需要复杂而昂贵的设备，由具有不同背景的科学家操作，从注重服务的研究人员到训练有素的专家。在地方、国家和欧洲层面运营的欧洲核磁共振设施的资本投资总额超过5亿欧元。核磁共振社区在站点之间保持良好的网络联系，并在欧洲研究兴趣的焦点内为广泛的社区服务。通过应用远程核磁共振(R-核磁共振)，我们希望为整个欧洲的所有核磁共振用户建立远程访问。虽然常规的核磁共振应用程序在每所大学和工业中都是例行公事，但更专门的应用程序是在专门的研究基础设施中执行的，为本地和外部用户提供访问和帮助。在大流行期间，核磁共振基础设施在不同程度上放慢了其运行速度，特别是远程用户的访问大大减少，这增加了为远程访问建立标准化程序的必要性，以提高他们对不利外部因素的复原力。在这项提案中，将建立一个遍及整个欧洲的核磁共振基础设施的包容性网络，调查是否以及如何根据社区的需求实现远程访问，并在设施和样品运输程序中实施GDPR。将建立远程核磁共振使用的例行程序，包括研究和教学方案的传播、数据存档和样品运送。将评估联合体运营的总体二氧化碳足迹，以及由于减少差旅而减少的二氧化碳排放量。

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is one of the major analytical methods applied in all chemical, physical, biological, and medicalsciences. NMR'sleading role stemsfrom its analytical power in terms of molecular resolution, quantification, reproducibility, and broad application envelope. It requires sophisticated and expensive equipment, operated by scientists with diverse background ranging from service-oriented researchers to highly trained experts. The aggregated capital investment in European NMR facilities, operating at local, national, and European level, exceeds 500 Million Euro. The NMR community maintains excellent networking between sites and serves a broad community within the focal points of European research interests. With the application Remote-NMR (R-NMR), we wish to establish remote access for all NMR users throughout Europe. While routine NMR applications are routine in every university and in industry, more specialized applications are performed in dedicated research infrastructures offering access and help to local and outside users. During the pandemic, NMR infrastructures slowed down their operations to variable degrees, and particularly access by remote users dropped significantly, raising the need to establish standardized procedures for remote access to improve their resilience to adverse external factors. In this proposal an inclusive network of NMR-infrastructures throughout Europe will be established, surveying if and how remote access can be made possible according to the needs of the community, and implementing GDPR at facilities and sample shipment procedures. Routines for remote NMR-usage will be established, including dissemination of research and teaching protocols, archiving of data, and sample shipment. The overall CO2 footprint of the operation of the consortium will be evaluated, as well as its reduction due to the reduction of travels.
