Sustainability and governance will develop a sustainable Open Science and Open Innovation governance framework, and sustainable business model, for FNS-Cloud in accordance with EU requirements and needs of the project and user communities.

2. Develop a governance operative model focused on balance amongst society, market and public institutions, with respect to ethical values, knowledge creation, structured in practices, proceedings, and responsibilities, as required by Open Science and Open Innovation
3. Support selection and adaption of good practices for building and managing (e.g. hosting, sharing, integration) FNS-Cloud and operational activities related to the cycle of information to assure FAIR principles
4. Devise and develop an economically sustainable post-project FNS-Cloud business model and related agreement(s), confirming key value propositions, target markets and segments, supply chains, and revenue streams, based on market feedback and best business practices.
