EISCAT Peer-Review Programme: Call for Proposals

The EISCAT Scientific Association invites applications for observing
time on the EISCAT facilities in 2013, by individual scientists,
research groups, and consortia throughout the world on equal,
competitive basis. This means that anyone can apply, independent of
whether or not the applicant is from an EISCAT associate country.

While evaluations are merit based, in the case of two applications
having similar merits in evaluation, *preference will be given either to 
those applicants who are new to the EISCAT facilities*, in order to
enlarge the EISCAT user community and further more open access to the
facilities, *or to the applicant showing stronger educational impact in
their proposal*.

EISCAT is aiming to establish closer ties with the users of incoherent
scatter radars worldwide and bring in new users, young scientists,
postdocs, and students who have not used the EISCAT facilities in the
past. EISCAT International Symposium (http://eiscat2013.lancs.ac.uk) Aug 
12-16, 2013, is also aiming to reach similar goals of bringing ISR users 
from around the world to interact more closely and collaborate.

The present call is the second one for 2013. In total, 200 hours of
experiment time are open for international, peer-reviewed competition,
and are available for the use of any of the current EISCAT facilities.
Roughly half of this time has been allocated in the first call.

Please refer to EISCAT's pages on the Peer-Review Programme

http://www.eiscat.se/PeerReviewProgram

and in particular to the definition of the call

for more information.

The deadline for proposals is 1st May 2013 at 24:00 UTC.
