- EC 6th framework proposal NERIES
The proposal "Network of Research Infrastructure for European Seismology
(NERIES)" for the 6th framework Specific Programme
"Structuring the European Research Area" [FP6-2002-Infrastructures-1],
specifically "Integrating Activities", has been submitted April 15, 2003.
At the end of August we have received an evaluation report and a rejection.
Unfortunately. However, we are presently considering the options to
resubmit parts and/or an improved version in 2004. Domenico Giardini,
the proposal coordinator, and several others believe we have a good basis
and a constructive evaluation.
The proposal is available on CD-ROM on request from ORFEUS. The
proposal evaluation is available on our ftp site.
ORFEUS participants and NERIES participants will be kept informed on
the actions planned.
