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

核磁共振波谱（NMR）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。核磁共振的主导作用源于其在分子分辨率、定量、再现性和广泛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，从面向服务的研究人员到训练有素的专家。欧洲核磁共振设施在地方、国家和欧洲层面的总资本投资超过5亿欧元。NMR社区在站点之间保持良好的网络连接，并在欧洲研究兴趣的焦点内为广泛的社区提供服务。通过应用远程核磁共振（R-NMR），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在每个大学和工业中都是常规的，但更专业的应用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。在疫情期间，核磁共振基础设施不同程度地减缓了其运行速度，特别是远程用户的访问大幅下降，因此需要建立远程访问的标准化程序，以提高其对不利外部因素的抵御能力。在本提案中，将在整个欧洲建立一个包容性的核磁共振基础设施网络，根据社区的需求调查是否以及如何实现远程访问，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常规程序，包括研究和教学协议的传播，数据存档和样品运输。将评估财团运营的总体二氧化碳足迹，以及由于减少旅行而减少的二氧化碳足迹。

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.
