JCMT Joins the RadioNet Consortium

The JCMT has recently joined a consortium of European radio observatories known as RadioNet (http://www.radionet-eu.org). RadioNet was recently awarded 12.4M Euro by the EU for an Integrated infrastructure Initiative under the FP6 programme.

The RadioNet programme includes a transnational access component. Under the terms of this programme as defined by the EU, European observers of the JCMT are entitled to have their travel and subsistence costs funded by RadioNet.

The detailed procedures have not been defined at the time of writing. The key points for potential applicants are as follows:

• The PI, and a majority of the applicants, must be from an EU member country (excluding NL and UK) or an EU associated state.
• Proposals which meet this criterion should apply according to the usual procedures described in this call. Proposals will be assessed through the existing mechanisms. No special procedures are anticipated.

When the detailed procedures are known, they will be promulgated through the JCMT and RadioNet websites. Eligible applicants will also be notified.
