The International Network for Terrestrial Research and Monitoring in the
Arctic (INTERACT) announces a call for proposals to be supported by the
INTERACT Trans-National Access program for the 2011 summer season (May -
September). In order to be eligible for this opportunity, the user group
(research group) leader and the majority of the users must work at an
institution established in a European Union Member or Associated State.

The Trans-National Access program offers access to 18 research stations
in Northernmost Europe and Russia. It provides free access for outside
researchers to research facilities and field sites. A list of the
applicable stations is available on the INTERACT website, at:
http://www.eu-interact.org/calls-2277303. The program provides travel
and logistical support, as well as free access to information and data
in the public domain held at the infrastructures. The maximum visit
length is three months.

Additional eligibility requirements are as follows:

- The user group leader and the majority of the users must work in a
country other than the country where the legal entity operating the
infrastructure is established. For clarification on this rule,
please contact Kirsi Latola (kirsi.latola [at] oulu.fi).
- There should not be a corresponding infrastructure in the country
hosting the institution employing the user group's leader. If such
an infrastructure exists, the applicant should show how the specific
conditions of the requested visit cannot be met by this national
infrastructure.

Submission deadline: Thursday, 21 April 2011.
