As a guide to those interested in the Transnational Access (TA) program of ChETEC-INFRA, details on eligibility and the application / selection procedure for TA facilities are now available here.
We are looking forward to your proposals. For the next round of proposal evaluations, proposals submitted before or on August 17 will be considered.
As part of Working Package 7, ChETEC-INFRA co-supports established Nuclear Astrophysics Scientific Schools (Task 7.2). Originally planned for 2020, the 29th edition of the Carpathian Summer School of Physics is now re-scheduled to take place in-person in August 2021 and is open for registrations.
Please refer to the announcement below and the school website for the first circular and additional details.
We announce the 29th edition of the Carpathian Summer School of Physics on Aug. 18-27, 2021, in Sinaia, Romania.
We decided that we have the need and conditions for re-starting the in-person meetings, in particular the schools, involving the direct contact between the generations. The CSSP20 school was postponed from July 2020 due to the coronavirus crisis, and now we are convinced that resilience and courage meet with the improved health conditions in Romania, Europe and many parts of the world.
Details of the events are included in the attached First circular and can be found on the website of the event at https://www.nipne.ro/events/conferences/cssp20/, where you can register.
We mention here the availability of fellowships for students.
The five proposals for ChETEC-INFRA’s Transnational Access (TNA) program have been received and will now be evaluated. The first call for proposals closed on May 17, 2021 and four proposals for telescope facilities as well as one proposal for a nuclear laboratory has been received. After a feasibility check by the hosting facilities, proposals will be evaluated by the User Selection Panel (USP) in July 2021, for user time at the facilities between September and November 2021.
Calls for proposals through transnational access are on a three-month cycle. The second call will close on August 17, 2021 for user time in the period of December 2021 to February 2022.
The ChETEC-INFRA project started on May 1. The first kick-off meeting took place virtually on May 4-5.
Invited presentations by representatives of other COST actions – ChETEC, PHAROS, and MW-GAIA – and Advanced Communities – OPTICON, Europlanet and RADIATE – provided details on successfully running community projects in related fields, and offered advise that ChETEC-INFRA as a Starting Community project will benefit from.
Transnational access, as one of the pillars of ChETEC-INFRA, is provided by 13 facilities within the network. Each facility was presented, outlining the available resources, services and requirements. Breakout sessions gave room to starting the individual Work Packages (WPs), including the Joint Research Activities (JRAs) and Networking Activities (NAs).
A total of 124 participants from 23 countries registered for the event. Slides of the presentations can be found on the Indico Page of the meeting.
