[Thomas Pape]

FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR SHORT VISITS TO THE SWEDISH MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY
(NATURHISTORISKA RIKSMUSEET, NRM)

Third call

The funds are made available through the European Commission's programme for
"Improving the Human Research Potential and the Socio-economic Knowledge
Base" (IHP). The grant is entitled "Access to Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet ?
High Latitude" (HIGH LAT). It enables us to meet travel and accommodation
costs for scientists wishing to use our collections and/or other research
facilities. The HIGH LAT programme began November 1st 2001 and will run
until February 29th 2004. Applications for financial support for a visit to
NRM are herewith invited.

There are a number of terms and conditions associated with this opportunity,
as outlined below. If you are interested in applying for support, or are
uncertain about whether you are eligible, please visit our website
(http://www.nrm.se/highlat/) or contact the project management
(highlat at nrm.se).

1) To be eligible you must conduct your research in a EU Member State or
Associated State (http://www.nrm.se/highlat/conditions.html). Scientists
working in Sweden are not eligible for support under the HIGH LAT programme.

2) A formal application must be made. Please read the Application Guidelines
(http://www.nrm.se/highlat/applguide.html) before completing the Application
Form (http://www.nrm.se/highlat/application.html). The next deadline for
submission of applications is 17 January 2003.

3) Priority will be given to scientists who have not previously used our
facilities and who are working in regions of the EU where few such research
infrastructures exist.

We hope that many of you will see this as an opportunity to visit the
Swedish Museum of Natural History, utilising collections and other
facilities that have not previously been available to you.

HIGH LAT co-ordinator
