Deadline: 28 February 2025
The 3rd Geo-INQUIRE call for Transnational Access to research infrastructures is open to receive applications from interested users (researchers, technicians, students and other professionals) of 1) ECCSEL-ERIC: CO2 Capture, Utilisation, Transport and Storage (CCUS); 2) High-Performance Computing for the simulation of geophysical phenomena and probabilistic hazard analysis; and 3) Testbeds.
Topic
Geo-INQUIRE is a Horizon project coordinated by the Helmholtz Centre Potsdam GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences in Germany. This project provides and enhances access to selected key data, products, and services, enabling the dynamic processes within the geosphere to be monitored and modelled at new levels of spatial and temporal detail and precision.
The present call is open to researchers, technicians, students, and other professionals working in the research areas covered by the installations. However, other scientific fields will also be considered if the proposed projects are feasible and relevant to the Geo-INQUIRE research topics. Information about the capabilities and research topics of each individual installation is described here.
Eligibility
Transnational Access will be provided to selected user groups (teams of one or more researchers). The PI is the person in charge of the project, i.e., should be the one visiting the installation, directly working on the deployment of experiments, publishing and reporting.
Access will only be granted to users allowed to disseminate the generated results through open-access means.
Applications from female PIs and from PIs working in one of the widening countries, associated countries and outermost regions of Horizon Europe (Portugal is included) will be given special attention during the evaluation process.
Funding
The access provided through Geo-INQUIRE is free of charge for the selected users, and includes all access costs necessary to perform the proposed research, such as equipment, support personnel at the installation, consumables, training for external users, among others.
Specific installations provide financial support for travel and subsistence for users who visit them.
How to Apply
Access applications should be submitted online through the Geo-INQUIRE website here. Before submitting a proposal, potential applicants are strongly advised to email the contact person associated with the installation of choice for guidance on the feasibility of their project.
Supporting material
A Question & Answer session for the 3rd Geo-INQUIRE Transnational Access Call will take place on 21 January 2025 (10:00 to 11:00 CET).
