ISSI/ISSI-BJ Joint Call for Proposals 2014 for International Teams

in Space and Earth Sciences

The purpose of this Call is to invite proposals for study projects from International Teams. 

Teams are one of the ISSI tools, through which relatively small groups of scientists involved in Space Research can work together in an efficient and flexible format of several subsequent meetings, during which data are analysed and compared with theories and models. 

This call is open to scientists of any nationality actively involved in the following research fields: 

1. Space Sciences (Solar and Heliospheric Physics, Solar-Terrestrial Sciences, Space Plasma and Magnetospheric Physics, Planetary Sciences, Astrobiology, Cosmology, Astrophysics, and Fundamental Physics in Space) 

2. Earth Sciences using space data 

This Call is jointly made by ISSI and ISSI-BJ. ISSI-BJ (International Space Science Institute – Beijing) was jointly established by ISSI and the National Space Science Centre of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NSSC/CAS) in Beijing, China, and was officially inaugurated in July, 2013. 

ISSI-BJ will share the same Science Committee with ISSI and operate its research activities using the same ISSI study tools. Successful applicants for International Teams can organize all or part of their team meetings either in Bern or in Beijing, but the applicants are required to show the “added value” of ISSI or ISSI-BJ in the applications. The applicants are, therefore, required to indicate clearly if they are applying for ISSI and/or for ISSI-BJ. 

Applications by email to Maurizio Falanga, Email: mfalanga@nssc.ac.cn
