Funds for visits at NRM

[Thomas Pape]

FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR SHORT VISITS TO THE SWEDISH MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY
(NATURHISTORISKA RIKSMUSEET, NRM)

We have the opportunity to offer economic support to scientists who wish to
use the collections and/or other research facilities at NRM. The resources
are made available through the European Commission's "Improving the Human
Research Potential and the Socio-economic Knowledge Base" (IHP) scheme. Our
programme at NRM, entitled "Access to Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet – High
Latitude" (HIGH LAT), will run until 29 February 2004. HIGH LAT funded
visits to NRM will have to be accomplished by this date. The grant enables
us to meet international travel and accommodation costs for visiting
scientists.

The last call for applications is opened.

There are a number of terms and conditions associated with this opportunity,
as outlined below. If you are interested in applying for support, or are
uncertain about whether you are eligible, please visit our website
(http://www.nrm.se/highlat/) or contact the project manager
(highlat at nrm.se).

1) To be eligible you must conduct your research in a EU Member State or
Associated State (http://www.nrm.se/highlat/conditions.html). Scientists
working in Sweden are not eligible for support under the HIGH LAT programme.

2) A formal application must be made. Please read the Application Guidelines
(http://www.nrm.se/highlat/applguide.html) before completing the Application
Form (http://www.nrm.se/highlat/application.html). The next and last
deadline for submission of applications is 6 June 2003.

3) Priority will be given to scientists who have not previously used our
facilities and who are working in regions of the EU where few such research
infrastructures exist.

We hope that many of you will see this as a chance to visit the Swedish
Museum of Natural History, utilising collections and other facilities that
have not previously been available to you.
