ARCHIVER Pre-Commercial Procurement is a unique initiative in the context of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) that spent 3 years designing, prototyping and piloting innovative services for the Long Term Digital Preservation (LTDP) of scientific datasets. During the project, R&D was performed competitively by commercial suppliers over 3 phases resulting in the selection of two consortia providing pilot services for scientific data archiving and preservation: LIBNOVA and ARKIVUM
In September 2022, the ARCHIVER project won the prize for International Collaboration and Co-operation in archiving and digital preservation, awarded by the International Council of Archives at the DPC awards 2022 ceremony, Glasgow Scotland.
