*PITHIA-NRF Trans-National Access (TNA) Open Call*
*PITHIA-NRF* (Plasmasphere Ionosphere Thermosphere Integrated Research
Environment and Access services: a Network of Research Facilities)
launches its *sixth call* to provide effective and convenient access to
the best European research facilities for observations of the upper
atmosphere, including the *plasmasphere*, *ionosphere* and
*thermosphere*. The access is organised through the Trans-National
Access (TNA) programme, and provides an opportunity for researcher and
other users to execute and carry out their own projects at one of the
twelve PITHIA-NRF research facilities. You can get information on the
*/PITHIA-NRF Nodes/* here
<https://pithia-nrf.eu/pithia-nrf-users/tna/nodes> and view details on
PITHIA-NRF assets by accessing the */PITHIA-NRF Knowledge Book/* here
<http://194.177.195.242/pithia_entities/ui>.
*What?*
The PITHIA-NRF nodes provide access to key experimental and data
processing facilities for studies and modelling of physical processes
acting in the Earth’s plasmasphere, ionosphere and thermosphere. The
facilities connected to the nodes are geographically distributed over
Europe, as well as internationally, and their expertise and dedication
span over a wide range of topics within the research area.
Users can request either *physical access* (one-week visit at the node
with support at site) or *remote access* (one month access from distance
with weekly support). Users with granted projects will learn how to work
with the facilities during the full access cycle, from setting up a
campaign, to collection, analysis and finally exploitation of data.
*When?*
The call is an *Open Call* - applications are handled as they arrive
with typical evaluation times of 2 to 3 weeks. The call closes on *31
May 2024*.
*Who?*
Access can be requested by scientific users from academia, Small and
Medium Enterprises, large companies and public organizations.
*How?*
The application is made by using the online form
<https://pithia-nrf.eu/forms/tna-application-form-6>. Follow the
instructions at the PITHIA-NRF webpage for the Sixth TNA Call
<https://pithia-nrf.eu/pithia-nrf-users/tna/tna-calls/sixth-tna-call>.
We strongly encourage any potential applicants to discuss with the
relevant node about the project before submitting their proposals. The
TNA Support Centre <mailto:tna@pithia-nrf.eu> at PITHIA-NRF can help
establishing contact points with the nodes.

EISCAT Peer-Review Programme: Open Call for Applications
(sorry for any cross-posting)
The EISCAT Scientific Association invites applications for *observing
time on the EISCAT facilities in 2024*, by individual scientists,
research groups, and consortia*throughout the world on equal,
competitive basis*. This means that anyone can apply, independent of
whether or not the applicant is from an EISCAT associate country.
The present call is the second one for 2024. In total, *200 hours of
experiment time* are open for international, peer-reviewed competition,
and are available for the use of any of the current EISCAT facilities.
Roughly half of this time is allocated in each call.
Please refer for more information and instructions how to apply to:
https://eiscat.se/scientist/schedule/eiscat-peer-reviewed-program/
The deadline for applications is *1 May 2024 at 24:00 UTC*.
