Dear colleagues,
hereby I invite you to submit project applications for work on and with the German-French Arctic research base AWIPEV on Svalbard.
Multi-year or long-term projects also need to submit an application if access to the station is planned for 2024, or if any support by the station team is required on site for the project. Please use the attached template for the application, which must be completed in English. The projects are assessed for their feasibility and scientific quality.
Some key points for applying for the coming year:
- Submission deadline for project applications by email to AWIPEV_Antraegeawipeveu by September 30, 2023.
- You will receive a confirmation of receipt (please let us know if you don't)
- The application round covers the period from April 2024 to March 2025.
- Long-term projects with a KOL number will not be subject to any scientific assessment this year, so under item 2 [Detailed project description] they only need to complete sub-items 2.1, 2.4 and 2.6.
- Dutch projects to be supported at AWIPEV, please also provide information according to the template.
Field work and other activities in and around Ny-Ålesund sometimes require permits from the Norwegian authorities, see https://www.sysselmesteren.no/en/researchers/guidelines-for-researchers-in-svalbard
For information on applying for relevant permits (e.g. use of radio spectrum, field installations, etc.) and other useful information, see the Researcher's Guide on the website https://nyalesundresearch.no/.
More information about AWIPEV research base can be found at www.awipev.eu
The AWIPEV team is looking forward to your activities in Ny-Ålesund!
Kind regards
Marion Maturilli
