title: ARCHIVER PROJECT: A SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC-PRIVATE COLLABORATIVE PROJECT
creators: Antonio Guillermo Martinez Maria Fuertes
abstract: The ARCHIVER Project has brought together customers, vendors, and infrastructure providers in an outstanding successful public-private collaborative project, which has also been recognized with the Award for Collaboration and Cooperation which celebrates significant collaboration across institutional, professional, sectoral and geographical boundaries at the Digital Preservation Awards 2022. 
  This paper will review, from the perspective of one of the project winners, the success story of the ARCHIVER Project, highlighting the benefits achieved by leveraging the commercial digital preservation solutions for scientific research data through a pre-commercial procurement process, where end users were able to directly influence the expected functionalities in the platform and how they are expected to operate.
