PITHIA-NRF Trans-National Access (TNA) Open Call

PITHIA-NRF(Plasmasphere Ionosphere Thermosphere Integrated Research Environment and Access services: a Network of Research Facilities) invites applications for access to a variety of the best European research facilities (nodes) for studies and modelling of physical processes acting in the Earth’s upper atmosphere, with support from experts within the field. There are twelve nodes within PITHIA-NRF all dedicated to investigating the plasmasphere, ionosphere and/or thermosphere.

The access can be physical access (one-week visit with travel and accommodation included) or remote access (one-month remote access with weekly support). The available services or resources are limited, and a competitive process is required following a defined procedure and criteria for the selection of users.

Project opportunities:

Project opportunities and description of the nodes are available at the information page. We encourage any potential applicants to discuss with the relevant node about the project before submitting their proposals. The TNA Support Centre at PITHIA-NRF can help establishing contact points with the nodes.

This spring 2023 call is running from 15 January 2023 until 15 June 2023. It is an Open Call and applications will be handled as they arrive to streamline the timelines of the projects.

Who?

Access is provided for science projects to users from Academia, Small and Medium Enterprises, Industry, and Public Organisations.

How?

The application should be filled in and submitted using the online form. After submission, eligibility and feasibility checks will be performed followed by the scientific evaluation. Follow the instructions at https://pithia-nrf.eu/tna/tna-calls/second-tna-call.
