Grants Applications
The European Commission supports grants for access to 5 European seismological centres and infrastructures for periods of research and joint technical developments, trhough NERIES.
The infrastructures selected for access through NERIES are characterized by specific scientific and technical facilities, as well as for their capacity to provide adequate scientific, technical and logistic support to external users:

ETHZ (Switzerland) operates the most homogeneous and dense regional broad-band network in the European-Mediterranean region and specializes in the development of tools for data assimilation, data mining and hazard assessment. Contact: Annemarie Christophersen, web: www.seismo.ethz.ch/neries
CEA/DASE (France), experts in detection and verification seismology provides access to an extensive database of bulletins and waveforms (seismic/infrasound). A large spectrum of software tools is available for specific studiesand benchmarks (source inversion, depth estimation, AI classification,etc.) and access to our large parallel computing infrastructure can also be provided. Contact: Jocelyn Guilbert, web: http://www-dase.cea.fr/neries/page_neries.htmÂ
INGV hosts the SISMOS scanning and digitalization facility, the most advanced facilityfor the preservation and the analysis of paper recordings of historical earthquakes through digital scanning. Contact: Graziano Ferrari, web: http://sismos.rm.ingv.it>
NORSAR (Norway)Â is the premier seismological array facility in Europe and a leader in array seismology and automatic on-line data processing. Contact: Johannes Schweitzer, web: http://www.norsar.no/c-89-NERIES.aspx
ZAMG (Austria) runs the underground Conrad Observatory, a well equipped,ultra-quietfacilityfor research, testing and calibration of seismic instrumentation and acquisition electronics. Contact: Wolfgang Lenhard, web: www.zamg.ac.at/conrad_observatory/

Grants will cover travel and living expenses for periods of 1 week to 2 months, and a reprimarily open for researchers and network operators from the EU Member States and associated States. Nevertheless, visitors from other countries can be accepted under specific conditions. Grants will be evaluated four times per year (deadlines: 15 March, 15 June, 15 September, 15 December); the first deadline was on 15 September, 2006. Grants will be available until mid-2010.
Applications, including a short scientific proposal and the CV of the investigator(s), should be submitted to the contact point for each infrastructure. |
