@element @nemobis 5 MEUR/yr for 5 years sounds small on the EU scale. One possibility would be to convince one of the ERICs, arguing that EU-scale-FOSS-Synapse is crucial to EU research infrastructure [1]. Another would be to convince EOSC that EU-scale-FOSS-Synapse satisfies "seamless access" and #FAIR in supporting research and justifies a 25 MEUR/5 yrs budget [2].
