Access to Infrastructures of EJP SOIL

31/05/2024

Targeting all career-stage researchers, technical staff, soil laboratories (LABs) and long-term field experimental sites (LTEs) located at institutions inside and outside the European Join Programme (EJP) SOIL consortium who intend to improve research and enhance collaboration.

Deadline: 31 May 2024

The European Joint Programme EJP SOIL – Towards climate-smart sustainable management of agricultural soils” consortium has 26 partners from 24 countries, ensuring a large representation of European countries. This call aims at facilitating access to the European soil infrastructure by financially supporting laboratories and/or long-term field experimental sites (LTEs) about analyses/samplings related to the scope of the EJP SOIL. This is considered an important opportunity to obtain additional analyses, foster harmonization of methods and databases, and exchange expertise with researchers and technicians at one of the EJP SOIL host organizations.

The visits granted have to be finished before October 2024.

Who can apply:

  1. EJP SOIL partners, by funding soil sampling and/or analyses performed by LTEs/LABs outside the EJP SOIL consortium. Here, the application is a joint process of the LTE/LAB and researcher/technical staff who are interested in the analyses or samples. The applying researcher has to be employed at an organization within the EU. The LTE/LAB has to be in a member state of the EU.

ii) externals, by funding physical visits (travel and accommodation) to LTEs and/or laboratories inside the EJP SOIL consortium (EJP SOIL partners and LTEs/LABs included in the EJP SOIL database: https://ejpsoil.eu/long-term-field-experimentslaboratories). Laboratories and LTEs from inside the EJP SOIL will have to use the money that has been allocated to WP7 in their budget.
