Trans-National Access (TNA) 2<sup>nd</sup> Call</b></font></p>
<p>PITHIA-NRF (Plasmasphere Ionosphere Thermosphere Integrated
Research Environment and Access services: a Network of
Research Facilities) invites applications for access to a
variety of research facilities for studies and modelling of
physical processes acting in the Earth’s upper atmosphere,
with support from experts within the field. There are twelve
nodes within PITHIA-NRF all dedicated to investigating the
plasmasphere, ionosphere and/or thermosphere.</p>
<p>The access can be <b>physical access</b> (one-week visit
with travel and accommodation included) or <b>remote access</b>
(one-month remote access with weekly support). The available
services or resources are limited, and a competitive process
is required following a defined procedure and criteria for
the selection of users.</p>
<p><b>Project opportunities:</b></p>
<p>Information of project opportunities and description of the
nodes are available at <a
