* ERIC as established legal entity at the European level with a *National Research Infrastructure Consortium* (NRIC) as the targeted national counterpart for Germany.

* Formation of a German NRIC as a joint initiative of CLARIN-D and DARIAH-DE.

* German NRIC as a geographically distributed network of DH centers with a common technical backbone
<figure><img src="image_23.png" /></figure>

* Long-term financial support through the NRIC's stakeholders, i.e., the participating institutions, Bundesländer, and BMBF (with 7-year funding and evaluation cycles).

* International collaboration is important for setting common priorities, promoting cross-border and cross-RI cooperation: sharing of data, services, and knowledge and by agreeing on common technical standards and protocols.
