1st POLARIN Transnational Access Call
|
The 1st POLARIN Call for Transnational Access proposals was open from 1st of October to 28th November, 2024. We had a record number of participants in the introductory webinar and close to 100 proposals were received.
|
|
|
We are grateful for a tremendous response to 1st POLARIN Transnational Access Call. The scientific evaluation is in progress and the results of this call will be available in April 2025.
|
This call was made possible by a series of prior achievements including:
|
- Development of the POLARIN TAP, the portal for submission of proposals to POLARIN
- Implementation of the Scientific Liaison Panel, a panel with 21 experts from all disciplines in polar sciences
- Call documentation and guidelines
- Webinar for applicants, to ensure a smooth application process.
