The Abisko Scientific Research Station (ANS) in Sweden announces the
availability of funding for visiting scientists as part of the Access to
Abisko Naturvetenskapliga Station (ATANS) grant program. ANS is located
about 200 km north of the Arctic Circle within a range of terrestrial
and freshwater environments.
Funded by the European Union (EU) Transnational Access Programme, ATANS
provides travel and accommodation support for scientists from EU
countries (outside Sweden) and associated states to conduct fieldwork at
ANS.
Proposals are invited from established and young researchers, including
PhD students, that relate to the natural environment (geosphere,
biosphere, hydrosphere, and cryosphere) of the Swedish subarctic. ANS
encourages projects that:
- integrate or link existing research groups, such as collaborative IPY
projects;
- focus on environmental processes during winter;
- are led by scientists from new EU-member states; and
- include first-time ANS users and research groups.
Applications may be downloaded from the ANS website and submitted via
e-mail. Successful candidates will be notified within one month of the
application deadlines.
